I'm testing a script that joins my riak ring on all machines. There is no
data in the database yet but I have repeated joined the ring
an separated it while working on the script that sets up the environment on
my machines. The ring is now in a bizarre state:

[rebecca]$ riak-admin member_status
Attempting to restart script through sudo -u riak
================================= Membership

[pay@payment-testing-gw2 ~]$ riak-admin join r...@xx.xxx.xx.14
Attempting to restart script through sudo -u riak
*Failed: This node is already a member of a cluster*
[pay@payment-testing-gw2 ~]$ riak-admin force-remove r...@xx.xxx.xx.14
Attempting to restart script through sudo -u riak
*Failed: "r...@xx.xxx.xx.14" is not a member of the cluster.*

I cannot join a new member nor can I remove it.

I've tried stop them all get them to leave, if they wouldn't leave I forced
their removal. I stopped them all. I even deleted the whole old ring file
before restarting.

How can I fix this situations. What causes the above error?

Thanks,
Rebecca
