Well, I was able to resolve it, in an equally odd way. I added my NW
server to another NMC I run (at one of my remote sites). I then created
the client from there. And *then* I was able to move it to the group I
wanted.
Strange, but if everything worked sanely and the way it was supposed to,
I'd probably be out of a job. LOL
