I think you failed to properly clean=up before reinstalling the replica.

On the replica make sure you run:
 ipa-server-install --uninstall

On the primary:
 ipa-replica-manage --force del sbgrid-directory-replica.in.hwlab

You will have to force because you already removed the replica.

Once you do that you can generate a new replica file for the replica and
retry to set up replication.

Let me know if you encounter any other error once you have done that.

Simo.
