Oh, and have you tried "vgsplit NewVolGroupName VolGroup00 /dev/hdb1" to
simply move the /dev/hdb1 PV from "VolGroup00" to "NewVolGroupName"?

In fact, you might try:

	vgsplit -v --test NewVolGroupName VolGroup00 /dev/hdb1

to see what it'd do first.  It it looks like what you want, then take
off the "--test" and give it a whirl.
