I've also run into this a bit, we monitor our replication with Nagios,
and I've gotten a couple of alerts like this:

Replication error: 1 Cant acquire busy replica

Which is cleared by having the the effected master send another update,
so far i've always done it through the console, but I DID find this
script to do it through the CLI:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/Managing_Replication-Forcing_Replication_Updates.html

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has come across this, and if
there are any configuration tweaks that people might suggest to keep us
from seeing this error, or maybe even clearing it automatically?

Thanks!
