Thanks this worked. I had to do an open and then call wait_for_completion on open before calling object_remove. 
Also for some reason it gives key conflict when removing object with a given name. if I just match on ip/clientId that seems to work.
Thanks again.

    Are you sure you have "open"'d the  object after
creating it?  I forgot that the first time I tried this and got
the same error.  Remember that you are making a sort of draft of
what you want to happen but nothing goes over the wire until you
open the remote object which is your dhcp server and then
"remove" the record.  Here is an expect fragment of the script
that worked:

send -- "new host\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- "set name = \"helium.example.domain\"\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- "set hardware-address = 00:60:08:37:7F:0A\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- "set hardware-type = 1\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- "set ip-address = 10.100.3.4\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- "open\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- "remove\r"
expect -exact ">"
send -- $EOF
expect -exact "\$"

    The last two lines kill off the omshell and look for the
shell prompt.
