Hi

I changed my server by putting the disk into a new machine (same network 
cards) and added a disk. now everything went well except box.

I move to the files to the new disk with cp -R -p and changed 
raidfile.conf to the new path (I don't have a raid so 3 times the same 
path).
Now when I start box it runs but can't access the accounts.

I get this in the log:

bbstored[21972]: Starting daemon (config: /etc/box/bbstored.conf) 
(version 0.09)
bbstored/hk[30903]: Housekeeping process started
bbstored/hk[30903]: Starting housekeeping
bbstored/hk[30903]: while housekeeping account 000003E8, exception 
Common OSFileError (Error accessing a file. Check permissions.) (1/9) -- 
aborting housekeeping run for this account
bbstored/hk[30903]: while housekeeping account 000007D0, exception 
Common OSFileError (Error accessing a file. Check permissions.) (1/9) -- 
aborting housekeeping run for this account
bbstored/hk[30903]: while housekeeping account 00000BB8, exception 
Common OSFileError (Error accessing a file. Check permissions.) (1/9) -- 
aborting housekeeping run for this account
bbstored/hk[30903]: while housekeeping account 00000FA0, exception 
Common OSFileError (Error accessing a file. Check permissions.) (1/9) -- 
aborting housekeeping run for this account
bbstored/hk[30903]: Finished housekeeping

So I checked the config files and the data files and all have permission 
for _bbstored (since I copied it with -p).

Now I know I should have tested everything with just the new disk or 
just the new computer but I made both and if I undo the disk change 
(change back the raidfile.conf) I get exactly the same error.

Could it be something with the encryption? I thougt I didn't change 
anything there since I just took out the disk of one machine and pluged 
it into the other (you can do this with OpenBSD).

Thanks for any advice
Andy
