The old fred was never out there under /nsr/index. In other words, it

just assigns it the same client id. Maybe it's pulling this out of the
media database? Must be. When I query the media database for fred and
ask it to report the clientid, it reports the same value that it
assigned to the new client. I've not backed up the new client yet, however.

Hmmm OK.. Do this, capture the client id from the old fred, delete your
current instance of the new fred and then set the view-> details option
in the GUI (select hidden options for nsradmin), then add the new fred
paste in the captured client id in the box for that field, then change
the last four hex numbers in the next to last field of the client id.
This should create a new client id.
Example:
If the client id for fred is:
aebca613-00000004-445902dd-445a6e88-10890000-86fd3214
Change it to:
aebca613-00000004-445902dd-445a6e88-10891111-86fd3214
