ndsrepair -E gives a -603 remote error

Hi all,

We have three OES2 sp1 servers, SERVER_A Master, SERVER_B read/write SERVER_C read/write replica . If I do a ndsrepair -E on SERVER_A I get the following errors:

SERVER_A:~ # ndsrepair -E

I get the same results on SERVER_B and SERVER_C
I can't find any documentation about a -603 error in this context. It has something to do with the SERVERS object, but I don't know what.

Any clues?

Mark
