Guess I missed this the first time around.  The rendezvous buddies are 
added to your buddy list as they are discovered.  They are not yet 
deleted, but this is something we are looking into.  They belong to a 
group named "Rendezvous" within the buddy list.  If you want to quickly 
delete all rendezvous buddies, change the buddy list to show offline 
buddies (Buddies Menu), select the rendezvous group, and hit delete.  
This will delete all buddies within this group.
