Data Guard: ORA-16534: no more requests accepted

We have an environment Solaris (SPARC) 9 with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 with a
two-node RAC database.  We used Grid Control to create a standby on
another node and it was successful.  We then tried to do a switchover
using DGMGRL.  The new primary was up and successful but the standby
opened on node 2 and logs weren't being shipped.  I shutdown the standby
on node 2 and started the database manually on node 1 with the

'alter database recover managed standby database through all switchover
disconnect using current logfile'

All of a sudden logs were being shipped and applied.  Then CRS started
the instance on node 2 and all was good.

I then angered the DG gods by attempting to switch back from the 1-node
primary back to the 2-node standby.  If I do a "verify configuration"
from Grid Control, it gives me an ORA-16534 saying it won't accept
anymore requests.  The "action" specified is to wait but nothing is
happening.  Metalink has one example of this error but it was when a
listener wasn't defined correctly and the switchover failed.

What I'm wondering is, is there any way to clear the DG queue and
attempt the switchover again?
