If you tarred and moved the indexes back into place on the new server,
that's not the same thing as an nsrck -L7 off tape.  IIRC, that's where
I ran into the renaming snag.  And I want to say it was something weird
and undocumented that resolved it, like making the
/nsr/debug/no_striped_recover file.

The moral of the story for DR efforts: assume nothing and dry run test
everything first.
