...and it worked like a charm. I used LR to reconvert the RAW files to  
DNG but put them in a separate directory. I then exited LR and  
reopened it with the default catalog, and clicked on the little  
question mark next to one the "missing" files, directed LR to look in  
the newly created directory, and voila--I have my DNG files with  
adjustments back in the main catalog.

Thanks again!
