.... hum, it depent the Berkely DB package, run this on both machine and compare

# rpm -qa "bdb*" "db*"

If they is enought different then it could be not compatible.

If so here it part of my backup/restore restore script :

   # backup
   su $eg_cyrus_user -c "/kolab/bin/cvt_cyrusdb $ANNOTATIONS_DB
berkeley $ANNOTATIONS_BAK skiplist"

   # restore
   chown $eg_cyrus_user.$eg_cyrus_user $ANNOTATIONS_BAK
   su $eg_cyrus_user -c "/kolab/bin/cvt_cyrusdb $ANNOTATIONS_BAK
skiplist $ANNOTATIONS_DB berkeley"
