Linked clone persistent disk stuck on local storage

I have a Linked clone pool where View Manager says the persistent disk is on local host storage.  When I recompose a vm in the pool, or try to delete it I get the error message:

Failed to delete VM - Failed to resolve id of disk '[local storage] vm-006-vdm-user-disk-D-9fa24e1a-e2e5-4227-8ce0-dc6774a12e21.vmdk' from vm-006

When I browse the datastore I do not even see this vmdk.  I understand going from a local storage to a NAS for a linked clone might cause trouble and am seeking some help. 

I was hoping to detach the persistent disk and reattach it, but I get the above error message.  Any help is appreciated.

I CAN create a new vm in the pool no problem and it goes to the NAS.  It's just the existing ones.

thanks.

Yikes,

If the vmdk is not in the datastore, you may have to edit the ADAM database.  Apparently that one vmdk was not fully deleted when you perfomed a recompose.  Before doing editing the ADAM, see if someone else agrees with me.

How many hosts in the cluster? Prod or test environment?
