GPO's not syncing plus other issues

The horrid story thus far.
Last Monday I DCPROMO'd a DC in a child domain down to a
member server in the parent doamin domain. DCPROMO ran with
no errors.
I then reformated said server and rebuilt it as a 2000
advanced server in the parent domain while retaining the
same name and IP address.
By thursday there were the following errors comming from
the newly rebuilt server plus the other member servers in
the parent doamin:
Event Type: Error

these are repeating.
So I did some digging and checked the permissions on the
SYSVOL and its contents on both the parent domain DC's.
Everything looked fine. I then ran replmon and found that
one of the DC's (infrastructure master) was having version
mismatches between the DS and SYSVOL in regards to the
Default Domain GPO and Default Domain controller GPO. The
other DC is running fine. The gpotool output shows the
following:

Errors found


In addition to this I am seeing unknown user profiles on
both DC's

I think it is a permissions thing somewhere but I'm not
sure. I did cleanup DNS after I dcpromo'd the one server
down to a member server and there is apparent metadata
floating about. Don't if there is still DNS issues or what.
Things still replicate in AD and the end user has not been
affected so far.
Please, if anyone could shed some light on this issue and
maybe point me in the right direction, I would be very
gratefull.
