Hey,

I've just tried to move accounts from one server to another using the following method:
1) Copy everything below and including the admin user from these files:
/etc/shadow
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
Full contents of:
/etc/proftpd.passwd
/etc/virtual
/var/spool
/etc/named.conf
/var/named
etc

2) Tar up /usr/local/directadmin/data copy to server and extract using --same-owner completely overwriting the new config

3) Tar up /home/user folders one by one, uploading, extracting with --same-owner to /home

While the accounts work, directadmin can no longer read/write to home folders. For example, when creating a new account I get this:

User testtest created

Anything that requires directadmin to access a /home/folder doesn't work...

Here are the permissions of:
