Windows 2000 AD Domain with two DC's (A and B) ...

I don't know what started this little mess I have going here.
Please help me find a solution!

In general terms, here is what I'm finding:

If A is active A will replicate to B
If B is active B will not replicate to A

When I run dfsutil on A I get

C:\>dfsutil /PKTINFO
--mup.sys--
4 entries...
Entry: \WEBS\WEBDFS
ShortEntry: \WEBS\WEBDFS
Expires in 900 seconds

1:[\A\webdfs] State:0x09 ( )

The command completed successfully.

and when I run it on B I get

C:\>dfsutil /pktinfo
--mup.sys--

The odd thing is the additional 5th entry with the "DELETE_PENDING
REFERRAL_SVC DFS" message. I'm also getting an odd sytem event on A:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13562
Date: 6/15/2005
Time: 3:09:13 PM
User: N/A
Computer: A
Description:
Following is the summary of warnings and errors encountered by File
Replication Service while polling the Domain Controller
addweb1.webs.add123.com for FRS replica set configuration information.

The nTFRSSubscriber object

volumes\

subscriptions,cn=a,ou=domain controllers,dc=webs,dc=a,dc=com has a
invalid value for the attribute frsMemberReference.

Other than that, everything /seems/ to look fine. I can provide any
other logs or command-output.

Your assistance is very much appreciated!
