That's correct. Note that it won't do anything in Indigo. It will only reset the Z-Stick and will allow you to add the sensor to a new empty network to see if that works. All of your Indigo devices in will still be present, and when you switch back to your old stick it should be operating as before.

This was confirmed when I plug in the new z-stick and checked the node list. This gave me the impression that Indigo was talking and picking up data from the to the new z-stick.
Not quite following that logic. Did you try making a backup AFTER you added the 5 devices then restoring that backup to the new stick? My suspicion is that those were never really added to the stick, which is why Indigo isn't seeing them. Also, why are you adding devices by carrying around the stick rather than just doing it through the sync dialog?

That is not a good sign - the last time I saw that fail it was because of a corrupted Z-Stick. What exactly does it show in the Event Log when you try to remove failed modules?
