The tracking failed with:

2014-02-18T20:20:43Z DEBUG stdout=Error initializing Kerberos library: 
Improper format of Kerberos configuration file.

It looks like it failed on this for most if not all the tracking. What 
does /etc/krb5.conf look like?

The temporary krb5.conf that is used during enrollment has 
dns_lookup_kdc=True so it is probably trying to contact the other KDC 
and failing.

What is the output of:

$ rpm -q ipa-client
