Multiple rejections after submitting return - duplicate 1099-Rs

My return keeps getting rejected when trying to e-file saying the IRS rejected due to duplicate 1099-Rs but they are NOT duplicates.  I have three very similar for the exact same amount of money from the same investment company but they are different accounts.  I have tried changing the name of the payer to slightly different names but it still things they are duplicates.  Any tips for how I can get the IRS system to realize my 1099-Rs are all different?

Add $0.01 cent to one of the 1099-R's and subtract $0.01 cent from the second 1099-R's and leave the third 1099-R with the same amount as entered.  Then e-file the tax return.

Ha, I thought about trying that but didn't know if it would be ok to do so.  Since you affirmed the idea I will definitely give that a shot.  Thanks.
