The ECTP provider is causing this problem.  Since it's a cross-namespace 
provider, we have to register the provider in both the virt and interop 
namespaces.

So, when Pegasus goes to register it in the interop namespace, it 
recognizes that it's already been registered previously (to the virt 
namespace).

It seems to me that this is a limitation of the CIMOM, since there's not 
really a way to register the provider with both namespaces simultaneously.
