[389-users] Multi master replication - "Invalid syntax" error.

Hi, I need a helping hand from some experienced 389-ds admin.

I have built two LDAPs based on CentOS 5.3 and Fedora directory server.

ldap1 - is the production server which is running a few months. all of
the data are placed there.
ldap2 - is the clean install of CentOS 5.3 and 389-ds, identical to
ldap1, but with no data at all.

My point is to replicate present ldap1 data in to the new ldap2 server.

I went through the documentation here
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:MultiMasterReplication and
everything seems to be OK
Replication agreements are created, when I display them I get the
following output

replication agreements from ldap1.mydomain.com (389)
         ->ldap2.mydomain.com (389)

replication agreements from ldap2.mydomain.com (389)
         ->ldap1.mydomaincom (389)

...but when I perform the ldapsearch for some certain records - ldap2
won't find anything.

So I checked the ldap1 error log and found this

Can you please explain to me what does it mean "Invalid syntax"?
I googled but no useful information were found.

So if someone knows what to do for solution I would greatly appreciate
the help.

Thank you very much.

~ Daniel.
