Have u checked that all DCs/GCs were in the Exchange Sytem Manager ? Your organisation -> your Administrative Group -> Servers -> Your server. And right-click Your Server and go to "Directory Acces" Tab and check that if all your DCs/GCs are in "automatically detection" -> sorry, i have french OS :(
Do not hardcoded your DCs in this tab but just set *ALL* your DCs/GCs in "automatically detection". Endeed, for outlook 2003 to user referrals, Dsaccess must be aware of all DCs/GCs declared in your site.
