The import script doesn't wipe the database before the import, so if you
run it multiple times you'll get these errors.  If you're still getting
illegal shell errors make sure the regular expression near the end of
svc_acct.pm which checks this is a superset of what's in your /etc/passwd
file.

Are you using IE?  I'm told IE has an unresolved bug which would cause
this.

Hmm... also in svc_acct.pm:

  return "uid in use"
    if qsearchs('svc_acct',{'uid'=> $self->uid } );

...it doesn't really have anything to do with the counter, which is in
site_perl/Record.pm, and will even count up starting at what is in the
counter if it needs to:

  my($index)=$counter->inc;
  $index=$counter->inc
    while qsearchs($table,{$field=>$index}); #just in case


Does your counterfile have 

#COUNTER-1.0

as the first line?  (and is the counters directory you set it in the same
one that's specified in site_perl/Record.pm?)

Can you provide any more information?
