OK, I checked this, and mv does leave the original ownership intact,
which may not be what one wants. However, chown "-R
NEWOWNER.NEWACCT:NEWACCT /NEWACCT/NEWGROUP" from CI or the same command
without the quotes from the shell appears to do the trick for each file
in the group. I * think * that what chown calls owner, NEWOWNER.NEWACCT,
is MPE's creator, and what chown calls group, NEWACCT, is MPE's group id
(?). One more way to skin the proverbial cat; either approach depends on
what you have available and are comfortable using.

Pat Sarkar mentioned using DSCopy; does anyone know how this handles
ownership?
