Unable to update Mailbox SD in DS (Event ID 9554)

Greetings-

Exchange Server 2003 sp1(?) on Windows Server 2003 sp1; Getting this error in application log:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MSExchangeIS
Event Category: General
Event ID: 9554
Date: 5/5/2006

Description:
Unable to update Mailbox SD in the DS. Mailbox Guid: de65532f-ab2b-49e2-9cbf-b875d7bb99a9. Error Code 0x8004010f

Searched for this GUID using ADFIND:

adfind -gc -b "" -binenc -f " msExchMailboxGUID={{GUID:de65532f-ab2b-49e2-9cbf-b875d7bb99a9}}" -dn

but instead of getting the expected output, as in this example:

AdFind V01.26.00cpp Joe Richards (joe@joeware.net) February 2005
Transformed Filter: msExchMailboxGUID=w\3A\E6\8Bd\8F\8DI\A9\8Dn\E9U\E5\88\3D
Using server: <FQDN>
Directory: Windows Server 2003
dn:CN=Mktg User,CN=Users,DC=Contosso,DC=com
1 Objects returned


I get this output:

AdFind V01.27.00cpp Joe Richards (joe@joeware.net) November 2005
Transformed Filter: msExchMailboxGUID=\2FSe\DE\2B\AB\E2I\9C\BF\B8u\D7\BB\99\A9
Using server: SERVER1.domain.local:3268
Directory: Windows Server 2003
0 Objects returned

So this tells me that this mailbox user isn't there. So how come I'm getting this message? I even created a spreadsheet with every user in my system using CSVDE, which included the ExchangeMailboxGuid value, and it wasn't there, either.

How can I stop this error message from being generated?

Thanx

More information regarding this issue:

I followed Microsoft KB Article #322308, which is another way to search for the MailboxGUID, and also came up empty-handed.

I think I know what this is a result of:

A user with a mailbox was deleted from Active Directory on a DC that doesn't have the Exchange System Manager installed, effectively orphaning the user's mailbox. The mistake was realized and to try and fix it, another user was created and the user reconnected to the mailbox, and then the new user was deleted from a DC with the Exchange System Manager, along with flagging the mailbox for deletion.

Well, now the original user is deleted, the "new" user is deleted, the mailbox is purged... so there's nothing I can really go back to as far as objects go to try and fix this. I appreciate ANY comments, advice, instructions, etc.

Thanx
