DFS Setup Error

Hello,
I am having difficulty adding a dfs namespace server on a server after removal of the old namespace.  to my knowledge I thought I removed it without a trace.  apparently I missed something?
I have even went as far as pulling all the DFS information from the registry and removing and reinstalling DFS file services. 

I have a domain based namespace setup on one server already and am looking to add the second server as a namespace server.   The process succeeds with all the steps and fails on commit changes.

When I look at the error I receive it is
The namespace server \\server\namespace cannot be added.
The server already hoses a stand alone namespace.  you can add...

Unfortunately when looking at the server in question no namespace is setup?

Any ideas where to look would be appreciated!
