[Serusers] usrloc and replication

[Matt Schulte]

point to using db_mode 1 or 2 since t_replicate exists? Seems kind of
pointless, unless I'm just missing something.. :)

Please check with serctl if the contacts in memory already have non-zero

values.
I think the db-mode should have no effect on your problem. But I#m not 
up-to-date with the code any more.
