What worked for me with PCNG was:
1. Upgraded most Products to 2.1 compatible.
2. Uninstall Skin customizations and any other incompatible
product like 
speedpack.
3.In Plone 2.0.5 drop in TextIndexNG and PCNG into the
Products 
directory and restart Zope.
4.Then copy data.fs to a fresh 2.1 install with all of the
new products, 
plus the new plone.
5.Start this new fresh instance and then test migration.
6.Rewrite or test your old skin.

It's possible to skip step 4 and just remove Plone 2.0.5
products and 
put in 2.1.3 but I found it easier to just use a 2nd
instance.
*Zope version must be the same on both instances. If you
want to try a 
zope upgrade do it after the plone upgrade.
