SharePoint 2010 Products Configuration Wizard Error Access denied

I have run the sp2010 upgrade on our test farm.  The setup portion worked fine.  This is an in-place upgrade with the content databases detached.  When I tried running the configuration wizard on the first server, I received the following error: 

Failed to initiate the upgrade sequence.

An exception of type System.InvalidOperationException was thrown.  Additional exception information: An error occurred while getting information about the user username at server servername: Access is denied

System.InvalidOperationException: An error occurred while getting information about the user username at server servername: Access is denied

   at Microsoft.SharePoint.Win32.SPNetApi32.NetUserGetInfo1(String server, String name)

I am running the upgrade as the farm administrator, the account has admin access to all the servers and the databases.  The user 'username' is a user id used in the import connections in User Profiles.   Its in a separate domain and we only have a 1 way trust.  Is there a way to remove that import connection in the middle of the upgrade?  What are my options?  Getting the admins of the separate domain to create a two-way trust may not be an option...  Any help is appreciated!

When I do the production upgrade, I will remember to delete the import connections first!
