I attempted using the web interface initially and then tried using ipa user-del <username> to see if it gave any more detail.

More info though, this is a replicated environment and  I just tried deleting it on the replica server and it completed successfully so it appears I might have a replication issue going on?  Hopefully I didn't mess something up doing that, should have checked the logs there first.  I see this in the logs on the replica

[29/Apr/2015:09:35:40 -0400] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=meTomdhixnpipa01.domain.com" (mdhixnpipa01:389): Consumer failed to replay change (uniqueid 7e1a1f87-e82611e4-99f1b343-f0abc1a8, CSN 5540deb8000300030000): Operations error (1). Will retry later.
