Ah, OK. That seems to point to the "problem". I've digged into the script 
a little bit. The script only loads prefs from the horde_prefs table, 
IMHO. My old users do have some Ingo settings there, that have been 
migrated to app-specific tables now, but left in horde_prefs.

I don't know if other applications (Kronolith, ...) do have migrated 
settings into own SQL tables as well.

Is it possible to upgrade the script, to run this script "as" the user 
without password, then load the application and print / export / import 
the prefs then?
