Enabled on both.

I wouldn't get hung up on UPG. Internally it's a bit of a trick to have
a group without allowing other members. The user and group are linked by
the 389-ds managed entry plugin so that if owner (user) is removed, the
group goes with it.

Migration doesn't know how to deal with this, because it's IPA-specific
and it is more geared towards generic LDAP, so the mep* attributes and
objectclasses need to be dropped and it essentially converts the private
group into a general one.

But this isn't your problem, I don't think. What you've been saying is
that the groups don't transfer at all.
