Here you fscked up, this is totally not needed.

dch --bpo on itself does the proper thing, if you use a recent enough
devscripts package (either from lenny-backports or from squeeze/sid).
Above you just renamed the .diff and .dsc file but didn't change the
*content* of the diff file. You did stick with the old source.
What you need to do _after_ the dch --bpo call is a dpkg-source -b
netrek-client-cow-3.3.0. That will create the proper .diff.gz and .dsc
files for you.

And this will pick up your new source then. :)
Have fun!
