I'd be rather careful with modifying users on existing system - unless you know exactly what you are doing. It can have pretty nasty side effects appearing/re-appearing and entertaining you for long time to come, at the 'best' possible times.
I had a feeling it wasn't quite as simple as I'd hoped. At this point, it's almost easier to start over. It wouldn't be the first time I've installed a new OS more than once. I might even remove the 482 GB drive entirely (I have a USB box for SATA drives) and skip the part about figuring out why it takes so long to transfer files from it to the other drive on the same machine. I also have a noisy fan bearing, so I need to pull the box out from under the desk, anyway. It's one of those intermittent issues, so it will take some fussing to figure out which fan is the culprit.
But, I have learned two major things from the exercise, how to use rsync, and how someone decided to make what used to be a simple task more complicated, i.e. letting Caja talk to other machines.
Thanks for all the hand holding along the way. It may be a couple of weeks before I have time to tackle this again.
