Roger's right. Do not insert a status. This is what you have now:

0 - New
1 - Assigned
2 - In Progress
3 - Pending
4 - Resolved
5 - Closed
6 - Cancelled

If you insert a status, this is what you will have:

0 - New
1 - Assigned
2 - In Progress
3 - Pending
4 - Resolved
5 - Transferred
6 - Closed
7 - Cancelled

So everything with a status of value of 5 & above will be messed up.
If you are running any queries or SLAs where the status < Resolved,
Transferred will not be included.

You could try adding a status reason. On my version of 7.5, that means
I have to add the value to sys:status reason menu items & update
Status_Reason_Hidden on HPD:Help Desk.

I'm not sure what your end goal is, but there a couple of fields (on
7.5) which count the individual, group & total transfers. Maybe these
would help?
