The most important question for me is: Do you or Gavin have any *.new or *old 
files around in /kolab/etc?

During an update, rpm (and openpkg) ether replace a config file (while saving 
the old file as foo.conf.old) or leave it in place and install the new config 
file as foo.conf.new. Whether or not files are replace depends on the package, 
if the files are marked %config or %config(noreplace). If a config file was 
not changed and exactly matches the version that was installed, it will be 
replaced ether way.

Generally it's saver to use noreplace to not break the users systems, but on 
the other hand it requires them to take some manual action in order to apply 
all configuration changes.

This being said I think you could test an upgrade say from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3 or 
2.2.4 and look for *.old and *.new files and see whether the changes get 
applied once you have manually moved them. Make sure to use the webadmin or 
something to make changes to the config file before you do the update.

Thanks a lot,
Christoph
