What documentation are you following? iirc, the replication should take
all of 15 minutes, 30 max. Something is really out of whack here.

This should be as easy as introducing the Server 2008 into the domain, waiting
for replication, transfer the roles, or alternately remove the 2003, seize
the roles, and done.

At worst, and that's if it's somehow an IntERsite replication. IntRAsite
replicationshould be in the seconds range.
Clearly broke or misconfigured.

If it's Intersite replication, check the Intersite Messaging service on the
SBS 2003 server, it is disabled by default.
