This article was sent my way and looked pretty serious and possibly commonplace. There is a hotifx available here (more details here) no hotfix for the problem (yet), but and there is also a manual work around at the end of the article.

CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service experiences an ecAmbiguousAlias error when enumerating the groups and users that are assigned permissions to the store databases objects in Active Directory. The error occurs when a security identifier (SID) cannot be resolved to a single user. In this scenario, the SID is present in the security descriptor of the database object that will not mount. The SID cannot be resolved to a single user if one of the following conditions is true:
•The SID is for a well-known user or group, and more than one domain exists in the forest. Therefore, duplicate objectSID objects are created.
- Two or more of the following objects have matching or conflicting values:
- objectSID
- msExchMasterAccountSid
- sIDHistory
These three attributes must be unique within the forest.
