how to delete reference to fulltext catalog

Looks like I made a mistake I hope someone can help me with. I backed
up a SQL database that implements fulltext catalogs. I thought these
would be included in the backup...I was wrong. Not a problem to
recreate the catalogs except that the database still shows the
references to the old ones. It gives me an error if I try to delete. I
get an error if I try to rebuild. I have also tried command line with
no luck:
use dev_i3
EXEC sp_fulltext_catalog 'fcAttachment', 'drop'
I appear to be stuck because I have catalog references to catalogs that
do not exist on the new server. There must be a way to manually remove
this reference and start over...I hope!
Thanks in advance.
I hope you have found a solution but if not here's my 2 cents...
First, you'll want to double-check that full-text is enabled on the database
in the new server. (see sp_fulltext_database in BOL) If not, do so and try
once more to start a rebuild on the catalogs. If this doesn't work, you'll
need to manually delete the catalogs from the sysfulltextcatalogs table and
recreate the full-text catalogs (see sp_fulltext_catalog). This should get
your catalogs back online.
Thankfully, in SQL Server 2005, the FT catalogs will be backed up and
restored as part of the database.
