NEVER run cluster_config when there's existing databases - it WILL
DELETE ALL existing databases (images, EMM, etc) and recreate them
(BLANK). 

Do a new install on both nodes, run cluster_config, then do bprecover.

We are using the clustering script that comes with NetBackup.  The
problem I think is that the script drops the old EMM database and
recreates a new one with the new cluster configuration.  It then says
it's populating the new database, but apparently it's not doing a very
good job of putting all of our information back into it.

My colleagues and I have search and search for documentation, and we
have found plenty of it talking about how to build a clustered netbackup
system, and how to restore the catalog, but nothing on going from a
standalone (that started at v3.5 and is now at v6.5.2a with EEB) into a
clustered environment.

It's clearly a problem with the EMM database, but how do we get around
this problem?

It sounds like you don't have EMM properly defined in the cluster. There
are a bunch of High Availability guides on the Symantec web site
depending on your specific release and platform.
