I am unable to change the client by updating the contact using crm 2011 sdk.Here is the code i am using to do that :
Entity contact = new Entity();
contact.LogicalName = "contact";
contact.Attributes = new AttributeCollection();
EntityReference clientLookup = new EntityReference();
clientLookup.Id = NewClientBId;
clientLookup.LogicalName = "account";
contact.Attributes.Add("parentcustomerid", clientLookup);
contact.Attributes.Add("contactid", workItem.Id);
SynchronousUtility.UpdateDynamicEntity(CrmConnector.Service, contact);
The code runs fine without any error but when i go to web portal and check the record ,it still points to the old account though updated the modofication time stamp.I also checked the sql profiler query which shows up as below :
exec sp_executesql N'update [ContactBase] set [ModifiedOn]=@ModifiedOn0, [ModifiedBy]=@ModifiedBy0, [ModifiedOnBehalfBy]=NULL where ([ContactId] = @ContactId0)',N'@ModifiedOn0 datetime,@ModifiedBy0 uniqueidentifier,@ContactId0 uniqueidentifier',@ModifiedOn0='2013-07-04 09:21:02',@ModifiedBy0='2F8D969F-34AB-E111-9598-005056947387',@ContactId0='D80ACC4E-A185-E211-AB64-002324040068'
as can be seen above the column i have updated is not even there in the set clause of the update query.Can anyone help me with this ?

I tested your code and it works:
Entity contact = new Entity();
contact.LogicalName = "contact";
contact.Attributes = new AttributeCollection();
EntityReference clientLookup = new EntityReference();
clientLookup.Id = new Guid("3522bae7-5ae5-e211-9d27-b4b52f566dbc");
clientLookup.LogicalName = "account";
contact.Attributes.Add("parentcustomerid", clientLookup);
contact.Attributes.Add("contactid", new Guid("16dc4143-5ae5-e211-9d27-b4b52f566dbc"));
As you can see I used existing Id in my environment, and to perform the update I used
service.Update(contact);
Reasons why your code is not working:
NewClientBId
is not the right account GuidworkItem.Id
is not the right contact GuidSynchronousUtility.UpdateDynamicEntity
