Make sure you permissions are being preserved (scp -p) when you are copying.

When I migrated my vpopmail setup to a Solaris machine
I used rsync to transfer my domains dir:

rsync -prav -e ssh oldmachine:/home/vpopmail/domains/ /home/vpopmail/domains/
rsync -prav -e ssh oldmachine:/var/qmail/control/ /var/qmail/crontrol/
rsync -prav -e ssh oldmachine:/var/qmail/users/ /var/qmail/users/

Hope this helps.
