Fixing it isn't the problem, ensuring people with existing VG's can
use the new driver/tools *is* the problem.  The pe positions weren't
being stored in the metadata before beta8 :( So we have to upgrade
peoples VG's.  I understand that Heinz has written the upgrade tool,
but I'm not sure how much testing he wants before we release.
