don't worry about agents, that's redirector stuff that isn't active.

this would have been because you ran tng, returned to 2.0.x, then ran tng.
this isn't ok, because 2.0.x recreates MACHINE.SID, and tng moves
MACHINE.SID to THESAMDATABASENAME.SID

hmm, there's a bug in the codepage stuff, fixed for 2.0.x.
