problem with changed bodyguard

[Dudion]

hey everyone. Like the title says I've got a small prob.
I had a Saba campaign running but I didn't really the bodyguard unit so I changed them to a upgraded verion of the Saba medium cavalry.
The already existing generals changed just fine but I just have had a FM come of age and instead of the new improved he was a Libyan merc general.

Here is the export_descr section I use:

Can anybody help?

cheers
