A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing

Hi

When I process one of my dimensions it fails and I get the following error:

Errors in the OLAP storage engine: A duplicate attribute key has been found when processing: Table: 'Customers', Column: 'DisplayName', Value: 'Stephen Grant'. The attribute is 'Display Name'.

I don't know if this is significant, but the attribute to which it is making reference was added through BIDS 2008 (the cube was originally created with BIDS 2005). 

There are no duplicates of 'Stephen Grant' in the DisplayName column. Not that it should matter if there were as this attribute has a cardinality of Many, with an rigid attribute relationship directly to the dimension's key attribute. The Key column for the Display Name attribute simply refers back to the same (DisplayName) column in the table.

If I delete this record, or even just update the DisplayName field from 'Stephen Grant' to something else, the dimension processes just fine. I can't work out what it is about this record that is stopping the dimension from being able to process.

Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

Julia.

P.S. I am using SSAS 2008 on Windows Server 2008
