As far as I know from being a casual opensim user for the last two
years, and lurking here and on the IRC channels,
there isn't a specific single process for doing this.
You would probably need to recreate each avatar as a new user in the
console first. Then if you need the UUIDs to match,
do a direct edit of the database. Something I've never had reason to
do, so if I am wrong well it's open for correction
here.
For shape and other appearance items, inventory can be transferred
with an IAR for each avatar:

Unfortunately, Ken is right - there's currently no good way of doing
this short of recreating the user accounts and transferring their
inventories manually, if that is required.
Possibly one of the webinterfaces might have a solution for this

though I don't have much direct experience with them myself.
Both Ken and Justin are correct. The only reliable way is to manually
alter the DB tables. It's actually not terribly complicated and I've
done it may times. Just create, via console command, a user with the
same name in the new OS instance. With the new bare-bones inventory and
attributes now added to the DB you can begin replacing references to the
new UUID with whatever the old UUID value was. I'm not making any
assumptions as to your familiarity/comfort level with manually editing
DB tables, but if you want a friendly GUI that is more elegant that the
standard phpMyAdmin interface, you might want to try MySQLBuddy -
http://http://www.sqlbuddy.com. It's all just cutting and pasting from
then on.
NOTE: Make all of the changes (there really aren't that many) BEFORE you
import any previous inventory .iar files. Once the main identity values
are changed, any subsequent imported assets will inherit the new UUID
for ownership. Also, I'm not sure what OpenSim version you're running,
but if it's 0.7.x the main tables you need to be concerned with are:
auth (UUID field)
useraccounts (PrincipleID field)
inventoryfolders (agentID field)
estate_settings (EstateOwner field)
Hope this helps. Good luck and happy hacking...
