    Thewoodmaster's post in newel posts between post to beam posts was marked as the answer   
    So initially when I tried your trick, Joe, it wanted to snap the railings to everything around it, so what I ended up doing is setting the 2nd set of railings close enough to the originals to be able to line up the ends with the inside edge of the posts, but far enough away that it was out of "snap" range.  Then I converted them to symbols and moved them where they needed to go.  That allowed me to use the railing tool's ability to auto-space the balusters, and pick the newels/balusters I wanted- and not have the irritating snap function muck it back up, or have it try to stick extra newel posts where they weren't wanted.  
    Thanks everyone for the insight.
