not sure, but you could try this

1) make sure no supplier will attempt to send updates - you can do this 
by "suspending" replication - how it works is that you first do a search 
on the suppliers for the replication agreement for this server
a) ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b cn=config 
"objectclass=nsds5replicationagreement"
find the one for your consumer, then note the dn:
b) use ldapmodify to change the replication schedule to be "not now":
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W <<EOF
dn: the dn of the replication agreement
changetype: modify
replace: nsds5replicaupdateschedule
nsds5replicaupdateschedule: 2358-2359 0
EOF

2) shutdown the server you are attempting to fix
3) edit dse.ldif - find the mapping tree entry for the suffix 
cn=somedomain.co.uk,
ou=dns,o=acmesystems.com - change nsslapd-state: backend
4) start the server
5) ldapdelete -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W 
"nsuniqueid=7edfa581-1dd211b2-8014f995-55bd0000+cn=mx::10,cn=somedomain.co.uk, 

ou=dns,o=acmesystems.com"

or any other modify operation you might need to do

6) on the suppliers, "resume" replication
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=directory manager" -W <<EOF
dn: the dn of the replication agreement
changetype: modify
replace: nsds5replicaupdateschedule
nsds5replicaupdateschedule: 0000-2359 0123456
EOF
