During provisioning using Grouper (http://www.internet2.edu/grouper) to populate a tree of ou and posixGroup objects it looks like the request to create a child OU is being issued and granted. This results in the creation of a "ghost" parent OU with the glue objectClass as documented but syncrepl then constantly tries and fails to provision the ghost OU to the other servers (as shown in alderlog.txt).

Your ftp server is demanding authentication, can't download your file.

My cn=config is listed in cnconfig.txt for reference

The issue can be reproduced by running Grouper's LDAP provisioner with Grouper configured to produce a "bushy" structure and it may also be reproduceable if provisioning via a suitable large LDIF file (grouper.ldif).

Sorry, I'm not going to install grouper to test this bug. Please provide scripts to generate data that will reproduce the bug, and please do not use any 3rd party schemas in the data, that just makes it harder to setup a test environment.
