can't create a new oab

I'm pulling my hair out and this should be fairly simple. I managed to transition my mailboxes, public folders, free/busy from our exchange 2003 server to 2010. But the OAB just doesn't show up in the 2010 EMC. When I go to the Offline Address Book tab there are no items to show. After trying to check permissions and everything else I finally decided I would just create a new one. But when I try to create a new offline address book (no matter what options I choose) I get this error every time:

newlist
Failed

Error:
The parent object for newlist could not be found. Please check that \ exists.
Click here for help.. <some random link that goes to a page with no info>

 Management Shell command attempted:
new-OfflineAddressBook -Name 'newlist' -Server 'RAINIER' -AddressLists '\Default Global Address List' -PublicFolderDistributionEnabled $true

Elapsed Time: 00:00:00

I really don't have any interest in getting my old OAB, I just want to create a new one so that I can get rid of the old server. Why is it not letting me create one?! anyone have any ideas?
