Steps I took: I created a folder within a name space. I added 2 targets to it and both targets are initially empty. Upon adding the targets it prompts me to create a replication group. When I reach the end of that process, the replicate folder wizard errors out with "Security cannot be set on the replicated folder. The network location cannot be reached.". The server is able to communicate fine via FQDN with the other file server. So im not sure why this error is happening. any ideas?

Run the diagonestic report you will come to know the exact reason. Rename the previous name space provide tha name when you are creating the replication group. Yu will get that option.
