The problem isn't that the LDM product-queue won't accept a duplicate
data-product; rather, then problem is that you need to reprocess
the data-product that's already in the product-queue.  Deleting the
data-product in question and then re-inserting it would be one solution
to this problem.  I believe that the pqexpire(1) utility could be used
to delete a single data-product by very careful specification of the
feedtype and pattern.  You should test this.

Another possibility -- assuming that the "other" machine receives the
data-product via the LDM -- would be to manually execute the pqact(1)
utility on that other system.  Again, the feedtype and pattern would have
to be carefully specified to ensure that the desired data-product was
the only one acted upon.

You should be able to get more information on the pqexpire(1) and
pqact(1) utilities by executing the man(1) utility as the LDM user.
