It probably changed because I rewrote the code that keeps track of the
agentized servers.  The old code used a server's method so any change
to your server configuration and a server could be de-agentized.
It's something that people have been complaining about for years.  In
the new code, the agent uses a unique name derived from the method.
The result is that you can make configuration changes without
effecting the agent.  The downside is that the backwards-compatibility
portion of the code isn't as reliable as I had thought.

You should be able to fix your problem by manually adding the server
to the agent.  Doing so will update agent/lib/servers to use the new
server names.
