Humm. You should only use 'clean-all' when you want to wipe everything
out and start all over. 

Once you have a CA setup and keys, you want to do just:

. vars
./build-key clientname

to make a new client keypair. 

If you do a clean-all you have to start over and make a new CA, and
generate new keys for all your clients signed by that CA.
