OK, but the footprints in the CMP file and in the NET file do match.

Gaaa! I hate CVPCB. The problem is that you need to ensure the .CMP
file generated by CVPCB and the .NET file generated by EESchema match.
If you miss a stage, you end up with weirdness. Personally I just
put the footprint in the relevant field in the component properties in
EESchema and bypass CVPCB, using it only as a convenient means of
checking my footprint selections.

Or did I do something wrong?
I created a multisheet schematic with a top level sheet and then 5
sheets in parallel below that. I then used the CvPcb button and
filled in all the footprints to associate each item on the schematic
with a footprint. I made a netlist and ran that forward to a PCB. I
placed all the components on the PCB layout. Then I realized that I
wanted to move a small subsection of the schematic from one of the
sheets to another. I kept all the part values, footprints, and
reference designators the same. I re-ran the netlister because I had
also changed something else, adding a couple of new components. It
added these new components to the PCB layout. The ones I moved from
one schematic sheet to another were all still there. I did my PCB
layout, routed and made Gerbers and everything looks fine. Now I go
to make a Bill of Materials. In looking at the BOM listing, I see
that all the components that I moved from one sheet to the other
don't have footprints associated with them. But the netlister says
they do, and the PCB clearly has these parts with the correct
footprints. If I select and edit these particular components on the
schematic, the footprint text box is blank. But if I look at the
listing from CvPcb, these components do in fact show footprints. Is
this a bug or did I do something wrong?
Thanks.
