This exact same thing happened to me. The fix for me was to run
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu. This did the trick for me. Although for me mail
to the main domain worked, just not to virtual domains. Took me about 4
hours searching through the man pages at http://www.qmail.org/man/
EVERYONE HERE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD MIND NUMBING TOUR!
Would make Jake's job a lot easier. :)
Anyway that's my two cents.
NAME
qmail-newu - prepare address assignments for qmail-lspawn
SYNOPSIS
qmail-newu
DESCRIPTION
qmail-newu reads the assignments in /var/qmail/users/assign
and writes them into /var/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format
suited for quick access by qmail-lspawn.
If there is a problem with users/assign, qmail-newu
complains and leaves users/cdb alone.
qmail-newu ensures that users/cdb is updated atomically, so
qmail-lspawn never has to wait for qmail-newu to finish.
However, qmail-newu makes no attempt to protect against two
simultaneous updates of users/cdb.
The binary users/cdb format is portable across machines.

Is there a definitive way to tell what version the old server is?
Thank you.

Depends on how old the old version is. If you look in the restore script
you'll see there's some commands commented out. These were needed when I
went from an old version to a newer one.
The error you said you got about not being able to read a user's dir
sounds like permission problems. Check to make sure 89:89 is free in
your /etc/passwd, since vpopmail will want to use those UID/GIDs. If
your older version did NOT user 89:89, you'll see the qmail-newu command
in the resore script (commented out) as this will be needed to change
the UID for vpopmail. This is mostly guessing though, without seeing the
exact errors/logs.
