Basically, it's a bug. nsrim does not work on save sets that no longer have
a client resource associated with them. Legato know about this problem and
I expect the fix has gone into some reecent versions. I had a hot fix for
certain versions, but if there's only one or two clients giving you this
problem it's probably easier for you just to run nsrim for the problem
client, using: nsrim -c client. This should do the trick.
