The DFS Replication service is unable to start replication on the volume because the volume is not supported

hi first post here goes.... we have 2003 r2 server several volumes, dfs replication groups can created , replicate fine apart on 1 volume. the volume in question mounted volume. can select folders volume using dfsr wizard , group creates without errors , can see in ad etc. when 2003 r2 server picks groups settings fails stating repliation unable start because volume not supported, gives volume guid id. here's funny part, volume guid in event log different volume 1 selected during dfsr group creation wizard. added folders e:\ drive when dfsr group tries start uses guid q:\ drive. both volumes have different guid's seen using mountvol , in registry. this happens on 1 mounted volume, removed unwanted drives registry etc still can't replication work on 1 particular mounted volume. have 3 other servers similar configuration , replicating data mounted volume. has got ideas why when create replication group on e:\foldername mounted volume picks guid of volume.
