Was your BES server showing the mailbox being stored on the 07 box or was it 
showing 03? Also I'm guessing you have the connector between the 03 and 07. I 
did do an 03 to 07 upgrade and my BES automatically saw the change without 
having to remove/re-add. Granted I'm still on 4.1.6. 

Did you try restarting any of the services on the BES 5.0? 

I'm just throwing some ideas out there, as I haven't had time to play with 5.0 
yet.

Subject: Re: [Bes-admins] upgrading BPS->BES with Exchange 2003->2007

Been there, done that...
Move your users to Exchange 2007 first
Wait for AD replication (4-6 hours in my world wide environment)
Then use the transporter to move your users.

This was also the recommended method by RIM. So I wanted to find out 
why. First I moved my account, using the transporter utility. My 
Blackberry worked fine, so I immediately moved my Exchange 2003 mailbox 
to Exchange 2007. Blackberry quit working. The only way I could fix it, 
remove and re-add my account to the new BES 5.0 server. Oh I also tried 
re-adding back to the 4.1 server, and that works as well. There was no 
time to discover what was breaking the client when moving the BES 
account first. Maybe someone else could shed light on that.
