Uh, if you are using a configuration file (and not back-config, and implying 
that you want to bootstrap the configuration via sync-repl too), then 
assuming that your configuration is correct, starting the consumer should 
result in it doing an initial sync.

Maybe you could provide more details on your configuration if you don't come 
right.
