Replication between SQL2000 and SQL2005

I have a distributor setup on SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3042) and am trying to create a publication on SQL Server 2000 (8.0.2040) which receives the following error in my production environment:

Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802

Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.

The interesting part of this equation is that I was able to get this to work without error in my DEV (development) environment and well as my QAT (test) environment. This end result was that my distributor was SQL 2005, my publisher was SQL 2000 and my pull subscriber was SQL 2005. I have been diligently comparing our production environment to my other environment and have yet to find differences.

Has anyone else seen an error similiar to this? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Max
