Can not mount the Public Folder Database.edb

I am currently in the process of installing a new Exchange 2007 envirnonment. The plan is to have our current Exchange 2003 environment co-exist with Exchange 2007 and migrate mailboxes over to the new servers. The mailbox database mounts fine, but the public folder database.edb will not mount. I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------------------------------------
Failed to mount database 'Public Folder Database'.

Public Folder Database

Check if the file exist on that location.  If not, delete the PF database in ESM, recreate the db without mounting the db and then mount the DB.

When I try to remove the db from ESM I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------------------------------------
The public folder database 'Public Folder Database' cannot be deleted.

Public Folder Database
Failed
Error:
The public folder database "CLAVIN\Storage Group 1\Public Folder Database" is the default public folder database for the following mailbox database(s):
Servername\Storage Group 1\Mailbox Database
. Before deleting the public folder database, assign a new public folder database to the mailbox database(s).

When I try to add a new database I get this error:
Summary: 2 item(s). 0 succeeded, 1 failed.
