Is it possible that the replica was being initialized by another 
replica, or you tried to initialize it again while a replica init was 
already running?  Error 10 Referral is returned by a replica when you 
attempt an ldap operation against it while it is being initialized i.e. 
the database is locked, so any other operation gets a "busy signal" and 
a referral to another replica.

This just means the replica has not been initialized yet.
