Well, that fixes the unix-permissions, of course you have
to do that too.

The problem is:

There's a file called ntuser.dat inside the profile, and
this file contains (inside it!) also ACLs, that only allow
the old user to read/modify it. The new User will not be
able to read/modify it...

Fixing this for one ntuser.dat isn't a problem, there are
numerous methods to do it (regedt32, System Control, ...)

But I don't know a method to do it in a batch operation.
