hi FC,
try to set the active client ?
se16, table RSADMIN, field BWMANDT = 1 e.g
following is bit old oss note, valid for bw 3.x, not sure for nw2004s
Copying productive client 000 in the BW System
SAP Note Number: 116432 
Symptom
BW is being productively operated in client 000 and is to be moved into
another client.
Additional key words
Cause and prerequisites
Solution
The copy of the productive client 000 is executed in several steps:
a) Locking the system
    During the copy procedure, production in client 000 must not be
   active.
  Restart the BW System and lock it so that no logon can take place,
    the same way as for an upgrade.
b) Maintenance of table T000
   -   Note the entry of 'logical System' for client 000.
    -   Delete the entry 'logical System' for the client 000. When
       saving, the warning which results from this can be ignored.
    -   Now create the new BW production client.
       Enter the exact contents that you previously deleted from client
       000 in the 'logical System' field.
       Save the entry.
c) Check of tablespace PSAPCLUD (depending on database)
   Please check the number of records of table EDI40 using transaction
  SE16.
   Afterwards determine the freespace in tablespace PSAPCLUD using
   transaction DB02.
   Increase tablespace PSAPCLUD so that table EDI40 may be copied.
d) Client copy
    -  Log on to the target client as user SAP*
   -   Go to the client copy via either transaction SCCL or via
        Tools -> Administration -> Administration ->
      Client Administration -> Client copy -> Local copy
       Use the profile "SAP_ALL".
       Make sure that all entries are active in the profile in the area
       'Data selection' und 'Copy mode'.
       (only then are number range counters copied)
    -   Choose in each case client 000 as 'source client' and as 'source
      client for user master record'.
    -   Now start the copy procedure in the background.
After completion of the copy procedure:
e) Set the production client
   Enter the chosen production client in the instance profile or
   DEFAULT.PFL as logon client. Maintain the parameter
                       login/system_client
   for this.
   Once production has been initiated, the client may not be altered
   any further.
In all OLTP systems:
f) Maintain the RFC connection in the OLTP systems
  Logon to all connected OLTP systems  and maintain the RFC connection
    to the BW system.
   For this purpose choose transaction SM59; expand the section
   'R/3 connections'. Below you'll find a destination named
                         <SID>CLNT<client>
   where <SID> is the name of the BW system and <client> is your
   old production client in the BW system.
   Choose 'Change' for maintenance.
   Replace 'Client' by the new production client; save the entry.
   Check the connection using 'Test connection' and 'Remote login'.
In BW system only:
g) Unlock and restart your system.
