on the workstation start:

secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce

and your policy will be refreshed to current state.
If this doesn't solve the problem (and I suppose it won't), try starting:

gpresult.exe /S

and you will see all the changes made by the policy application.

Nice day Ondra.
