Are you sure the shadow password was being updated correctly
on the source machine?  It sounds like the new one is using it
and finding values that say the account has expired.  Read
'man 5 shadow' for the field definitions and see if they
look reasonable.  You could also try 'pwconv' to convert
any non-shadow entries to shadowed or 'chage' to modify
the expiration date for a user.  Pwconv does some consistency
check so it might be useful if something is wrong with the
copies.
