Hey Robert...you mentioned "I can put a txt file in my sysvol share on one DC and see it replicate to the other DC."
Which DC did you put the file on? My point is that maybe replication is broken in only one direction. Try putting a file on each DC named DCNAME.txt and see if you see that file replicate in *both* directions. Usually that error would indicate that there are RPC communication problems or that the FRS service is stopped but you said it was running. Maybe FRS is broken in one direction due to the firewall running on the other side (just a stab in the dark without knowing if FRS is replicating in both directions yet). FRS is pretty sticky sometimes and the detailed documentation is rather difficult to come across...it may be a good idea to open a case with PSS if you really wanna get to the bottom of things. Or you can feel free to keep posting here but it may take weeks to get all the details out so that any progress would be made (FRS is hard enough to troubleshoot in person sometimes...hehe) I hope that was helpful; have a great afternoon!

I followed the KB Article 839880 "How to troubleshoot RPC Endpoint Mapper errors in Windows Server 2003" and was not able to produce an error following all of the tests mentioned in the article that I ran. (DCDIAG, NETDIAG, Repadmin, Ntdsutil, Gpotool, Portqry) I did not run ADMT or DCPROMO. I also ran nslookup and verified my DNS was returning the proper IP address. I checked to see if the FRS service was running on both computers and it is indeed started. I can put a txt file in my sysvol share on one DC and see it replicate to the other DC. Everything seems to be working properly. Can I safely ignore this error? Does anyone know of a KB article that can help me correct this error or shed some light on what might be causing the error?
