Double check permissions, owner and group  of /home/*

Depending on how you moved files it is possible to
have different permission and ownership bits.

Also, on the old machine check for files you do not expect (mail,
cron, at, etc).

So for user bob

  find / -type f -user bob -print0 | xargs -0 ls -l  | egrep -v "/proc|/home/bob"
