Hi Nick,
Thank you very much for your response! Those are some great
questions and
leads, several of which we hadn't thought of.

I double-checked this, and as far as I have been able to
tell, each of these
are the same as they were in the pre-rebuild original
version. I diffed the
zope.conf files, and we had uncommented the ftp and webdav
sections
previously, but when we changed this, it didn't affect
anything.

The Python version is the same (2.4.3), Zope is different
(2.9.5 on Windows,
2.9.3 on Linux). Plone is different (2.5.1 Windows, 2.5.0
Linux).

Yes.

It's not logging anything after we transfer the old Data.fs

I ran into issues running debug. I got a lot of
errors--missing modules, and
especially an error connecting to Port 8100.

Thank you! These are great resources. I will keep looking
into these, both
for now and future reference.

It was the machine itself. I am concerned this could have
had something to
do with it. We reformatted the drive and rebuilt, but could
be using a
data.fs file that is contaminated. It seems to be working
well on my Windows
machine, though.
I'll continue to look into the links you sent and keep you
posted on how
things are go.
Thank you very much for your help!
