Rather than use nodetool load balance, assign the tokens manually. See the section on load balancing here http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations
I'm may be wrong here, but after the move run repair to make sure each node has all the data it should, then cleanup to remove data it should not have, then (perhaps) compact to trigger GC and clean up any un used files.
(brain is a little fuzzy today, so please excuse any stupids :) )

I did not. I did try "cleanup" and here is after that.
Was expecting an even distribution and total load to be approximately
same as before
