Question...had any of these clients had their definition in Networker
worked on recently?  Specifically one of the following:

A second instance of the client definition was added.
The alias list of the client had a alias added or deleted.

If so, you may be suffering from bug we've seen in 7.1.1.  A client can
"lose" its aliases for what appears to be at random.  They are still listed
for client but Networker's cache has become confused about them.

If so,  for the clients that are failing, delete all its aliases and add
them back.

I forget the bug number..it may be fixed in later versions.
