It must be keying off a different data point.  Organization ID maybe?  Anyone know?

    It is possible that the Configuration Wizard is using the Organization ID to identify the organization and prevent duplicate configurations. Each organization in Salesforce has a unique Organization ID that is used to distinguish it from other organizations.

    Hello WillD44 ,

    As you mentioned that , the second org you are trying to add is made form the backup of your production Org.

    when we are making org form the backup , the org ID remains same which was for your Production org.

    you can check the org ID here  Settings > Customizations > Developer Resources > Instance Reference Information > 

    ID
    I have checked at one of my org the ID is same , it may be one of the reason , that you are not able to add this org.
    Thank you.

    I've confirmed the ID is the same.  Is there a way to get a new ID so it's interpreted as a separate Organization?  Was thinking about the import process for the organization....maybe import as new?  Or even some way to update the database before importing?
