Sounds suspiciously like different users...  e.g. On two Linux computers
I could have "tim" user accounts, but with different user numbers.
Therefore, they're different users.

Taking the Windows approach to copy their Windows data, I'd be tempted
to do it as their superuser, copy the files, then change owners.

[tim at localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
