See my reply at the sibling level to yours for one possibility/bug, but 
the one that sticks out here is permissions.  You said you copied the 
data over, but you didn't mention changing the permissions so the new 
user can read it.  Did you forget to change permissions, or did you 
forget to mention doing so? =:^)
