Export Subfolders using export-mailbox to PST Issue

Question
-
Hi There,
I have a funny Issue with exporting Exchange 2007 subfolders to PST using export-mailbox.
The problem is that with some mailboxes when I export a mailbox subfolder using the cmdlet below the PST file is empty and there is no error.
When I do a full PST export all email are exported without any issue.
Export-Mailbox USER -IncludeFolders \FOLDER -PSTFolderPath \\server\pst\user.pst -Confirm:$false
Hope someone can help me figure this out ?Cheers,
