Could not synchronize color settings because of a program error.

Question

First, let me preface this by saying that I have several identical workstations that are all imaged from a single master.
On the master, I configured Bridge to synchronize color settings across my Creative Suite apps.  This works on the Master but on every machine I've imaged from the Master I get a "Could not synchronize color settings because of a program error" when I launch Photoshop.
Is there a way to stop the error?
Thanks in advance,

I have my machines setup this way to make preference/setting management/deployment easier.
Yes, I can understand that and as said, I have a single set up.
But in normal set up you install the suite at system level Application folder and use it from the dedicated user account(s) on that machine. All preferences and custom settings for Adobe (at least that I know of) are stored in the user library ( User/ library / Application Support / Adobe / and then per app presets - and same library / preferences / Adobe and many settings folders)
Color sync and custom color profiles you have added are stored in the system library while the saved custom color setting you have created in one of the CS6 apps for use of color settings synchronization is in its turn again stored on user level library (user/ library / application support / Adobe/ Color / Settings) and inhere should be the custom name .csf file you have saved and should be able to find back in the list showing in Bridge when asking for color settings sync.
I really doubt (but as said, no experience in it) imaging the systems is the correct procedure. I'm not sure what settings you want to pre set but mostly they are found in the user lib app support and user lib pref folder (for PS actions, workspaces, custom brushes etc etc.)
And if you are using it for education it is a very good idea to learn all user that there is such thing as a preference command that offer you options to customize the application to your wishes. I can't yell enough about that because PS has a very pre historic default preference settings that needs changing for better use of the app. And the default workspace of Bridge is very clumsy and very unattractive, so the more people learn how to change that themselves the better it will be for making it more popular...
