I'm trying to set the default location for PST files to a drive letter with
a group policy:

(User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Microsoft Office
Outlook 2003 - Miscellaneous - PST Settings - Default Location for PST
files)

However, it doesn't appear that the policy ever applies to the user. I can
run rsop.msc on the client machine and it has the correct setting but when I
open Outlook to view the setting it has not changed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You realize that policy doesn't affect any existing .pst files? What it does do is change the location that Outlook will use when it needs to create a new default .pst file for a new profile. The way to test it is to create a new profile without an Exchange account in it.
