Timeperiod already been defined

[Gotner, James]

Error message as stated in original post

Error: Timeperiod 'worktime' has already been defined. 
Error: Could not register timeperiod (config file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/templates/timeperiods.cfg', line 30)

RELEVANT LINES TAKEN FROM NAGIOS.CFG
-----------------
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/templates/timeperiods.cfg

cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/templates/

-----------------------

These are the only things that relate to **any** timeperiod definitions.  If
I rename the timeperiod 'worktime', the error changes accordingly.  If I
delete that definition, then I recieve the exact same error for my other
timeperiod, '24x7'.  I did a grep on all of my template-based config files
for worktime, and it only comes up once in timeperiods.cfg.  I can change it
to 'foobar' and it will still say its already defined.
