samba 2.2.x is no longer supported.

If I understand you correctly, the 'easy' way would have been to copy
all of the samba files (smbpasswd, smb.conf, wins.dat etc.) from 1
server to the other and the profiles from 1 system to the other and you
would have to take care of the user/group permissions of the move (and
thereby likely have to take your /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow
files too).

The samba How-To (www.samba.org - see documentation) has information on
migrating a user profile around.
