We recently discovered that our client/owner didn't have any eligible plan compensation but has funded the maximum 415 limit to both DB and DC plans for years.  

Thoughts on how to correct aside from basically removing all contributions and amending the company's tax returns?

The magnitude of the error requires that the client engage competent ERISA counsel. YOU don't have privilege and the client needs that. The attorney can hire you to do work if that is desired, and then your work is the attorney's work product and is not subject to disclosure.

Note that if the owner NEVER had any eligible compensation (so that the plan was NEVER qualified and the owner NEVER had any account or benefit (under the plan's terms), you may be better off.
