Pete,
You are correct. I will have to add the additional vlans manually. However,
another project that just got put on my plate is to look into the whole VTP
issue. Through my reading, I like the idea of the vtp pruning as well.
What are your thoughts on VTP pruning?

Although its working, I suggest it may not be doing what you want it to.
VTP transparent mode means that the VLAN config on each switch is only
locally significant. That means if you add a VLAN to a switch, you will
have to go and add the same VLAN to every other switch, which is exactly was
VTP is intended to prevent :)
If you would like VTP to work, it would be wise to configure a couple key
switches as servers and set the rest to client mode. Before doing this
however, I highly suggest you read up on VTP and become comfortable with the
nuances before you begin a migration.
