Cleaning Dangling User from tcb db

#/usr/tcb/edauth -g shows user marc.
man pages state to remove user after removing one in
base do:
#/usr/tcb/convuser -d
#/usr/tcb/convuser -Md
I tried these, but user marc still shows up.
Clues?





PROBLEM:
Working with NFS mounts. Sitting on server A,
restoring to FS mounted on Server B. (using tar xv
/dev/dlt .)
On A mountpoint, files restored with correct owner &
group (rick:scit).
Login into B, check the restored files, and owner is
an unknown user (probably existed once upon a time -
marc:scit). Username does not exist in /etc/passwd,
/etc/group, dxaccounts does not have account as
retired either, he is just nowhere.
When user rick creates a file while sitting in server
B, it does have correct ownership (rick:scit)
User rick exist on both servers A & B.

example:
[/scit is mounted on serverB, and NFS mounted on svrA]
