But when I do that Xastir won't start at all. Since I must have the wrong file can someone tell which files(s) to copy from a working install to a new install. After that I should only have to change the SSID to be up and running. This is the exact same version from the exact same .deb file that I have.

That's the correct file.  Is it owned and writable by the same user on each system?

You can start Xastir in debug mode to see where it is hanging or crashing:

     xastir -v 4095 2>&1 | less

It could be the ownership/permission thing, or or could be that I/O devices have slightly different names between your two boards.  That's about all I can think of right now.
