Need some help with SQL2005

[ryan256]

I'm trying to clean up the replication jobs on the server located under SQL Server Agent -> Jobs. However when I rename these jobs the replication monitor can't find them anymore.
When I select Merge Agent Job Properties from the Subscription Properties it throws the following error.

TITLE: Replication Monitor
------------------------------

Replication Monitor could not display the Properties dialog box.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Cannot show requested dialog. (SqlMgmt)

------------------------------

Attempt to retrieve data for object failed for Server '<servername>\<instance name>'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink...ct+Server&LinkId=20476

------------------------------

The Job '[<servername>\<instance name>-<database name>- Unidirecti-<targetserver name>-43]' does not exist on the server. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink...sNotExist&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

I'm renaming them by simply right clicking the job and selecting rename.
Yet if I rename the job to this big long assed string, [<servername>\<instance name>-<database name>- Unidirecti-<targetserver name>-43], Merge Agent Job Properties can find the job again.
How can I rename these jobs and avoid this error??
