Answer: It should have been.

	vos remsite to remove the old r/o location from the VLDB
	vos addsite to define the new r/o location in the VLDB
	vos release to write new data to the disk

Then you can use "vos remove" to delete the old clone from the disk at
your leisure.  Actually, I think at one time it was necessary to use
"vos zap" ...
