Move Mailbox problem

I have a user in a child domain that had their mailbox on my Exchange 2000 box. I used the Move Mailbox on my Exchange 2007 server to bring their mailbox over to my new server. It said it completed with no errors.

However, the mailbox is still showing up on Exchange 2007 as being on the old server. Get-Mailboxstatistics says the mailbox isn't on the new server. The old server says the mailbox isn't on it anymore. Message tracking shows the emails going to the new server. When I logon to the users Outlook (I have his notebook with me) it says Disconnected (using cached mode) and gives me a server unavailable if I try to connect using the non-cached mode.

It's been over an hour since I moved the mailbox so all of my AD should have replicated by now.

Ideas?

It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.

There are no more PDC's! There are DC's with FSMO roles!
 
Well, going to file this one under "Crap Happens". After over two hours, the mailbox now works properly.

I saw the same thing happen just the other day on an sbs2003 to sbs2008 migration. It happened on two of the fifteen mailboxes that i moved. Then after a couple of hours it appeared to be working properly
