I wanted to post this, in case someone was having a similar problem:

After thinking about this for a while, I decided to do some testing. I am 
not able to remove the phantom alias entries in the GUI, under System 
Settings-TCP/IP-Interface Aliases. Each, of the 5 phantom entries, report a 
missing directory 692, 693, 694, 711 and 712. So I wrote them down. I was 
able to create a new Alias, in the GUI. From the console, I logged into 
server and su - root. I checked in /usr/sausalito/codb/objects, and it 
created directory 332. I then copied the 332 dir and created the missing 
692, 693, 694, 711, 712. Now they are no longer missing, but have incorrect 
file information. I then edited the .device file in each directory, 
starting with 692, and changed the eth1:0 entry to eth1:1, eth1:2, eth1:3, 
eth1:4 and eth1:5. I went back to the System Settings-TCP/IP-Interface 
Aliases, in the GUI. It now shows 6 correct alias entries. I removed the 5 
unwanted alias entries and now all are correct. Lastly, from the console, I 
ran the .codb-fixit script. Before both lines showed 692, 693, 694, 711, 
712 existed, but they were actually missing. Now both lines display 
correctly.

Thank you for all the help with some of my bizarre problems:)
