Did the target machine already have the user setup? I think dsync wants to sync mailboxes between configured and working servers with users already defined.
Yes, of course. And the directory structure was pretty much identical between the two. Which was how I was able to write and run the rsync script.
I think at this point, I'm past the dsync problems. That window has closed, and the migration is done, albeit with this irritating re-downloading of email with POP problem. However I'm still keen to get to the bottom of how this whole UID/UIDL/POP3 transaction takes place, so I can understand it for the future, and prevent it happening again. I'm guessing it would be a useful addition to the dovecot documentation as well.
