Ah. That's brilliant. I will try to fix this and see if I can get it to work again.

It looks like you somehow created a client with an empty name.

"Option name's value  does not match regular _expression_"

Notice the double space between 'value' and 'does'? That should be the
name of the client object.

If I try to create client with an empty name by running 'knife client
create foo' and then changing the name to "" in the editor, I get the
same error:

 $ knife client create foo
 ERROR: Chef::Exceptions::ValidationFailed: Option name's value  does

not match regular _expression_ /^[\-[:alnum:]_\.]+$/

I'm still thinking about the easiest way to find and remove this client.
