    Hi guys, I would highly advise to not use the delete/rename xlive and gfwlive folders to fix stuck achievements. Deleting/ renaming XLive and GFWLlive can destroy product keys for other games and therefore make the games unplayable if it is a limited use key. Think games like GTA IV, you only get to use the key 15 times before it becomes invalid. I have found the actual files like Batman Arkham City hidden inside your gamertag that controls DiRT 2's achievements.

    You want to go to C/Users> (Your name)>Appdata>Local>Microsoft>Xlive>Content> E00003114C55BFB8>FFE07D1>00010000>E00003114C55BFB8.

    Now you want to remove the file
    434D0820.gpd
    (or back it up somewhere if you like, the game will redownload them anyway).

    Once you sign into the game, you will notice you have your achievement value for the game but everything is locked. By the time you get to the menu, a few random achievements will REUNLOCK. Do not worry, you obviously can't get an achievement more than once and Xbox Live will maintain your first unlock. In a few more seconds all other achievements will become unlocked again( only achievements you actually have gotten and synced to Xbox Live servers). Now go to DiRT Tour, and play any race. Finish the race and hopefully this time the achievement syncs!

    GOOD LUCK!

    Just a few comments on this solution, which worked for me:
    - The path was slightly different, but overall the name was similar (same folder structure)
    - I only had the first file, I didn't have the one named 5343080C.gpd. I deleted the first one only, and proceeded with the solution. It worked as well :)

    Ah! That 5343080C must be another game then( I wasn't sure 100%)! I will amend my solution! Thanks ErogahtyP!

    II TH3PRO II, thanks indeed for the solution! It worked like a charm here.
    Got a few of the MP achievements stuck here and following these instructions, everything is back to normal.
    Just as a side note: the folder for me is slightly different.
    Mine was as follows:
    AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\Content\E00003FE970E9AC2\FFFE07D1\00010000\E00003FE970E9AC2_MountPt

    And after deleting the file, I ran the game and did another career race. After finishing it, the "stuck" achievements popped and my profile updated right after.
