A rebuilding of the database while items still sit on a POP server is almost guaranteed to induce a reloading of items on it. As I understand it, the system of marking and inventorying (indexing) the POP-retained items gets new numbers inside of Entrourage and then the items on the server all (or mostly?) look to be new.... Ergo, get all the stuff off the POP servers before a rebuild if that is possible.
