I couldn't spot any error relative to this profile in the logfile.

the strange thing was that the profile was there, and I could even
access the "details" view, but it didn't let me delete it, reporting the
error I mentioned above (profile is new and cannot be deleted).

before seeing this mail, I discovered the "force delete" option:
nfsen -d from_RedIRIS -F
and it worked.
I didn't look at the profile.dat file before doing so, therefore I
cannot tell you how it looked like
