Brads advice about check_perms and the FAQ is good.

If you go to the web admin interface for the moved lists, what do you
see? Do you see a subject_prefix on General Options? Do you see the

Also, the FAQ mentions several procedures some of which are less that
optimum. Can you outline even roughly what you actually did.
