theme already exists on the server.

 Well, one more day and one more error.

 A theme with the name "THEMENAME 1011" and version  already exists on the server.

Awesome.  

I'm making sure that I rename the folder, inf file, spthemes.xml and I see the changes I make reflected after an iisreset. I've also made sure that the "codebase=" line in the inf file is unique. Still no joy.

I'm not sure it helps that we, in our incredible wisdom, set up SP in a distributed fashion, with one app server and two WFEs. Now I'm never sure what is updated and what isn't. I usually run iisreset on both WFEs just to feel a little better. 

Guess I won't use themes, then.
