I used to do this "renaming" all the time, but ...

I believe your problem is that you must rebuild your
incremental world that contains your namespace.

Try booting from the General world without your namespace,
then do the classic namespace loading procedure (I forgot
the commands), then save the world.

The problem you have is that the incremental has the
previous version of your namespace loaded in memory,
that's why it gets confused.
