EMC was able to fix it. What I had to do: delete the Networker client that 
was associated with the moved cluster resource. Add the name of the moved 
clustered resource as an alias of the *other* clustered resource.

SO: I deleted the Networker client "PSFILE1" (which was the cluster 
resource we moved from one cluster group to the other. I added "PSFILE1" 
as an alias of PSSQL1 (which is the remaining clustered resource).

And then it ALL Just Worked. :-)

Now, I don't know if I had to do that because I had had Networker clients, 
each of which was a network name cluster resource, previously in separate 
cluster groups, and so needed an alias, when consolidating cluster groups, 
I have other cluster groups which have multiple network name cluster 
resources, and they work just fine. BUT on that other cluster, I only have 
a Networker client for *one* of those network names, not for multiple 
network name cluster resources within the same cluster group (which is 
what I have now, with PSSQL1 and PSFILE1).

Anyway, my test backup now works. PSSQL1 sees all shared resources (not 
just local drives, which is what had been happening).
