The migration scripts should have taken care of that.  One script
must run as root and takes care of moving the Xastir system
directories.  The other script must be run as each Xastir user and
tweaks your config file.

If you ran both of those scripts and _then_ had that problem, it
means we need to tweak on the scripts some more.
