Right, yes, then a full copy makes a whole lot more sense. I got thrown off by
the fact that the error message seems to indicate the key already existed, and
completely forgot about the introduction at the top of the message :). Such an
exceptionally short attention span seems to indicate an acute lack of caffeine,
I've taken swift action to remedy that!

Anyway, on-topic: don't copy random_seed though. And be aware that some options
in the *.conf files might only be applicable on the old system, and not on the
new one.
