Question : SQL Server Merge Agent fails w/ "Procedure or function sp_MSaddinitialarticle has too many arguments

Hi all. I am attempting to set up a Merge Replication across 5 servers (1 Publisher, 4 Subscribers) that are all running SQL Server 2k. The publisher and 3 of the subscribers seem to be working nicely. However, I can not get the replication started on the 4th subscriber as the Merge Agent on the publisher is failing (for this subscriber) with message : "Procedure or function sp_MSaddinitialarticle has too many arguments specified.". I have tried dropping and re-creating the subscription for this server and even tried dropping and restoring the DB itself on it, but no luck. I am currently only attempting to replicate one small table as a test before I attempt to set up a larger scale implementation of this type of replication.

I know sp_MSaddinitialarticle is a stored procedure in the masterdb. Is there a way I can determine what the extra parameter(s) is/are that are being sent? How can I resolve this?

Sometimes the service pack does not get installed correctly.
If it looks like a service pack issue, it always a good idea to reinstall the service pack even if the service pack version seems current.
