Hi Alexander, thanks for the prompt reply.

I had actually rsynced the sw/ across from the external drive to the new laptop, which ought to preserve permission. Stupidly, however, I had initially just drag&dropped the folder across to the drive from the old laptop, so permissions probably got lost anyway in this first transfer. My old laptop with the "pure" sw/ is at work, I will transfer the folder tomorrow to the new machine using rsync and hopefully all will be fine. Thanks again for your help!
