Thanks Thorsten for the reply and pointing me to thread. I will cross
check the stuff with respect to this.

I had disabled patch based restrictions before migration of repos and
also made sure that root path for source and target is correct.
Have to check the size of the repos.

Every new repository on 'new master host' was created using UUID from
old repos. so all repos on 'master host' and 'new master host' have
same UUIDs.

I will verify the contents of repos...thanks again..
