Hi there,
i've created a backup via

gerdesj

I think you might have to exclude more stuff (search for mkstage4.sh and see how that does things - I've used it a lot of times).

There will be a log file somewhere that gives a hint. Try grepping for the username under /var/log and seeing if that gives anything.

Cheers
Jon

when you extracted, did you use -p? and -s?

if not, you hosed the permissions. And there is more to check then just /home. Like /tmp and /var/tmp

Sorry for my late answer, the last weeks I was simply too busy to test and figure out, what exactly led to my problem.
I've played around with a fresh installation and the only possibility seems to be - as energyman76 already assumed - the missing "p"-option (although I thought, I would have used it...but its the only explanation for me).

Thanks for your postings, guys!

Greetings,
