emdwgrd error on cloned database

I am doing a dry run on an upgrade from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1 on AIX 5.3.
Since I do not have the luxury of a separate server for testing, I
installed 11.2.0.1 in a new ORACLE_HOME on the production server.  I
cloned the production database from a cold backup plus the output from
"backup controlfile to trace".  Right now I have the clone running under
10.2.0.4.

Running dbua against the clone gave me a warning that I needed to backup
the Enterprise Manager repository, so following the instructions in the
manual I ran 

emdwgrd -save -sid <clone sid> -path <save_directory>

I got the following error:

Thu Nov  4 13:39:49 2010 - Verify EM DB Control files ... cannot find
emd.properties ... failed
Error:  DB Control location not found.

I gather that I somehow need to clone some files or data structures to
make Enterprise Manager work with the cloned sid, but I have not been
able to find any documentation for this on Oracle Support.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
