I was getting the following error in the “File Replication Service” event log in a Windows 2003 ADS environment, and replication was not working at all.

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set “DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)” is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.

WARNING: It is possible that you can lose some data (policies and scripts). This assumes that the PDC is the machine from where all changes are made, and contains the master copies from which everything will be replicated.

I am not exactly sure this was the correct way to resolve this issue, but I do know that the Event ID 13568 and others have stopped and my policies and scripts are now replicating fine.

This is what I did to resolve the issue:

Stop the “File Replication Service” on the server that is holding your FSMO roles (PDC) and that is your master from which all of your changes are made.

Modify this following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup:

Change the value of “BurFlags” to D2 (non-authoritative restore).

Start the “File Replication Service”

Restart Netlogon

On each of the DCs:

Stop the “File Replication Service”

Modify this following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup:

Change the value of “BurFlags” to D4 (authoritative restore).

Start the “File Replication Service”

Restart Netlogon

Here is a good link for more information from Microsoft, and for how to handle other such event IDs:
