[MBZ] Stupid computers

As you may recall, I have recently deployed two MacPro 1,1's that were upgraded to essentially 3,1 status, and which have been working _beautifully_. However, I was getting weird crap with Time Machine, and I finally figured out that the reason was that both machines have identical UUID's! (That
