Well, I'm not sure it would help (although I haven't tried it yet, since I'm only replacing files that are in my user folder in one machine or the other, and the files DO get replaced. The question that stimulated me to wonder about this asked whether there was anything that should be copied besides the user identity folder. I take it there aren't any preference files or anything that might cause the behavior I've described?
