CCR Re-Seed fails with comain controller issue after failed copy status

I have a CCR cluster at my head end.  It replicates to an SCR target at a disaster recovery site.  The SCR target acts as its own hub transport server, and I have an additional hub transport at the head end.

Yesterday we were doing some power testing for our new UPS equipment, and inadvertently shut down power for all servers simultaneously.  When the exchange cluster came back up, the copy status for two out of the four storage groups came back as failed.  I attempted running the update storage group on both from the GUI.  I also tried running the update-storagegroupcopy -identity "mail group 1" command in the CLI (elevated to run as admin).  It returns an error stating that the mailbox group "could not be found on domain controller."

The other two storage groups are running fine, and so were these before the outage... so it islt likely a permissions or sharing issue.  Any suggestions?

Hope you are running this from the passive node. Make sure you select "Delete any existing Transaction logs in the Target Path"

yes, I am running this from the passive node.  And for one of the mail groups, I actually deleted all database files and logs and attempted to enable storage group copy from scratch.  i still get the error about the object not existing in active directory.  On the second failed storage group, I left everything intact, and tried to reseed, and I did select the option to delete any existing transaction logs in the target path.  Still nothing.
Can you post the exact error message
