Subscription replication broken

I don't know where to post this other than this.

I use ZCM to mirror the Novell patches using subscription replication.
After the changes Novell made this week to the replication server it no longer works!

I see the following error in the loader-messages.log (ZCM 11.2.3a running on SLES11sp2 (x86_64))
