Excess Contribution to a closed 401k

I had a 401k plan with a previous employer. Shortly after being laid off in 2007 I rolled the entire 401k over to an IRA. My previous employer (who had been bought out) switched 401k plan administrator in January 2008. The new plan administrator just issued me a 1099-R, for tax year 2008, stating that I had excess contributions. Apparently they failed the non-discrim test for HCE's, but the test was conducted too late in 2008 to be an adjustment to 2007.

My previous company's plan administrator couldn't actually refund my money, since they no longer had it. My 401k (now IRA) administrator has no clue what to do. Any ideas?
