Hey Andrew,
Is the account you are logging on with a member of Enterprise Admins?
For example, even if you are an administrator in domain A, you don't have
permission to delete a domain controller in domain B (the failed domain).
You could normally log on as an administrator for domain B and remove the
domain controller, but (because there are no domain controllers for the
domain) you obviously can't log on that way in this instance.
Try using an account that is a member of Enterprise Admins and see if you
still get the error (if you have to add yourself to that group be sure that
the change replicates and that you log off and back on).
Let me know if I'm misunderstanding your scenario (i.e. what exactly has
failed)...
Mike

first receive a message box prompt saying basically 'are you sure' and
'server does not exist' I select 'Yes' I am sure, then NTDSUTIL responds
with the error 'DsRemoveDsServerW error 0x5(Access is denied)'?
