FFS creates too many subfolders

I have a PC that is syncing with a network drive. It is a very simple synchronization with all of the files in a subfolder being synced to a network subfolder. There are no subfolders located in the local drive folder that is being synchronized. FFS is making a subfolder within a subfolder within a subfolder ad infinitum. Every time it syncs a changed file, it makes a new subfolder within all of the previously created subfolders. This then exceeds the Microsoft limit and I can't delete the subfolders. What is going on? Ideas would be appreciated!

Please attach your sync job so we can look at it!

To paraphase Raymond Chen: My psychic powers tell me you ignored the FFS 8.10 message "Warn if versioning folder is contained in a base folder".
