Hmm...you should definitely gotten more output from the uuid_fixer program
here.  If bad UUIDs are the only problem, then you would have gotten a list
of UUIDs and a prompt asking if you wanted to write them to the PVs.  It
looks like there are deeper problems here than just the UUIDs, as Heinz said
in his reply.
