If I only purge[group/account];onvs=sourcevol, the accounting details should
still be in the system copy that I didn't purge.  All capabilities, groups,
access rights, and so forth should be intact (or are they?).

Hmmm... MOVER might almost work, but I wonder about uid/gid/creator things.
It's fine for moving Posix objects, but never tried much with MPE accounts
and/or groups.
