I had a similar situation. But I ended up not merging in older entries. 
When I run scanner on tapes made from the server before Aug 2008 (when I 
mistakenly rebuilt it, and didn't have the same client id), I get entries 
for the client name with a tilde. So I end up with a client of "nt_san1", 
and the older stuff is "~nt_san1". When I need to do a recover, I recover 
from "~nt_san1" and redirect to "nt_san1".

It works. I then use up a client license, I believe, but I had one to 
spare.
