DFSR Issues with Preseeding

I am working on setting up DFSR on a new server. I have preseeded the new server via Robocopy using the following commands
Robocopy.exe “\\source server\drive$\folder path” “destination drive\folder path” /b /e /copyall /r:6 /xd dfsrprivate /log:robo.log /tee

The Robocopy completes successfully and I have the folder completely copied onto the new server. I then go into DFS management and setup a new replication group. When I do this the initial replication will complete. I then look at the folder on the new server and most of the files and folders are gone and it is no longer identical to the old server. WHat could be causing this and how can I resolve this. It is a 45GB shared folder I am trying to replicate on a new server, but once DFS is setup the folders no longer match so I have to kill on folder destination so users aren't accessing the server without all the files.
