Resolution
Remove/correct all references to the non-existent resource in the ZENworks workstation object policy. Navigate to locations which might reference an invalid location, such as <User Container> -> Policy -> Properties -> Windows XP -> Windows -> Manage Group Policies -> Network location of existing/new policies -> UNC path to old/non-existent cluster volume location.
