I attempted this test and I get back "The location you requested is not 
allowed as a target.  Please choose a new location."  I was attempting 
to change from the default C:\... to the H:\ (network user "Home" 
drive)  Is this the error message you are referring to?

Also I did then try the hive fix and that did not help, I appeart to 
have this issue with ALL of the accounts I am trying to move, any advice 
on why they all would have crashed?
