Moving Cyrus from one server to another

Hey all:
After scouring the archives I couldn't find an answer to this particular 
question:

I've cyrus imap running beautifully on a RH 8.0 box right now but I'm in a 
situation where I need to move the operation onto another RH8.0 box.  I've 
built out the cyrus/postfix structure on the new box but can't seem to get 
cyrus up and running on the new box with the old server 
databases/mailstores.

To do this, I shutdown cyrus, shuttingdown saslauthd and master.  Then I 
rsync'd (recursively) /var/imap which contained:
drwxr-x---   11 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 22 01:22 .
drwxr-xr-x   21 root     root         4096 Oct 18 01:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 21 07:52 db
drwx------    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 22 01:22 db.backup1
drwx------    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 22 00:52 db.backup2
-rw-------    1 cyrus    mail       258048 Nov 22 01:22 deliver.db
drwxr-xr-x    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Oct  4  2003 log
-rw-------    1 cyrus    mail        16384 Nov 22 01:22 mailboxes.db
drwxr-xr-x    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Oct  4  2003 msg
drwxr-xr-x    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 22 01:40 proc
drwxr-xr-x   28 cyrus    mail         4096 Oct  4  2003 quota
-rw-------    1 cyrus    mail         1807 Oct  4  2003 server.pem
drwxr-xr-x    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 11 19:52 socket
-rw-------    1 cyrus    mail         8192 Nov 21 19:52 tls_sessions.db
drwxr-xr-x   28 cyrus    mail         4096 Oct  4  2003 user

followed by rsyncing (resursiv.) /var/spool/imap which contained:
drwxr-xr-x    2 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 22 01:37 stage.
drwx------   33 cyrus    mail         4096 Nov 20 19:59 user


The immediate error that comes up in /var/log/messages is:

on this?
