Is the partner replica opened exclusively?
Are you attempting to synch a design change?

Why are you using Internet replication? It's the most problem-prone
type of replication you can possible use.
That asside, the error message you're getting has nothing to do with
IIS -- it's being generated *after* the message files have been
received, and is telling you that the message files with the
replication changes can't be applied to one of the replicas because
it is locked exclusively.
