Well, I answered my own question. If you experience a problem with not retaining drive mappings while offline and using Offline Files and Folders, follow the instructions in this link.

After you do that, I suggest disabling Offline Files, go to C:\WinNT\CSC (hidden folder) and delete its contents. Re-enable Offline Files, make your desired folders available offline then synchronize. When you reboot offline, you will see all of your previously mapped drives and you will be able to browse to your offline files through the mappings.
The problem is a result of corruption of the Offline Files database. Performing these steps rebuild the database. The MS KB article linked above makes no reference to the inability to see mapped drives while offline so similar search phrases in the MS KB may not bring this document up, and certainly will not make it in the top 10 hits.
Have fun!
