Hello Russ,

Re: FTP will do this...

FTP on 5.5 with current GR patch FTPFD17 will do the job of copying
PRIV files from 3000 to 3000.   Note: I did not say DataBase's.  DSCOPY
and FTP do not know of the DataBase structure, they only know about files
so FTP of a PRIV file is supported and works, but FTP of a DataBase is
not supported (you are responsible for your DB integrity) but works.
Company Line: Only supported tool to copy a DB is DBSTORE...

I hope this helps.
