where are you seeing the errors? are you running the UNIX app as well on your search head? you're probably seeing other artifacts (like maybe saved searches that power dashboards) that are part of the UNIX app and that also expect the original index name. you might want to just grep $splunk_home/etc/apps/ for the index name.
