Lookup table errors after 6.0 upgrade

Hi, after upgrading our search head from 4.3 to 6.0, we are getting error messages when doing custom searches.
The errors are reported from all the search peers (ex: awssplunkindex.yp1.ca). The search peers are enabled and replication is successful. The search peers are version 5.0 or 4.3.

[awssplunkindex.yp1.ca] The lookup table 'http_status_lookup' does not exist. It is referenced by configuration 'apache'.
[awssplunkindex.yp1.ca] The lookup table 'logMapping_mobile' does not exist. It is referenced by configuration '24hrPC-cgi'.
[awssplunkindex.yp1.ca] The lookup table 'logMapping_mobile' does not exist. It is referenced by configuration '24hrPC-telus'.

I tried disabling/enabling the search peers and restarting them, without success.

Thank you for your help

I am having the same issue. I suspect you followed the advice on http://answers.splunk.com/answers/35267/very-large-lookup-tables-exceeding-2gb-bundle-size
which removes the lookups from your replication bundle. This is the desired behavior, but then automatic lookups fail. I am trying to find out how to enable automatic lookups only on Search Heads and not get the search error messages.
