Restoring Backup Results In User Clash

Both systems installed via install.sh script.

Created a backup on CentOS 5.2 x86 Virtualmin 3.72.

Attempted to restore the backup on CentOS 5.4 x86_x64 Virtualmin 3.76 and received this error:

** Re-creating virtual server .. .. a clash was detected : A unix user called {user} or group called {group} already exists **

(curly brack placeholders used for privacy)

I tried this with "Re-allocate UIDs and GID?" set to Yes and No with the same results.

I have been slowly moving services over to this host and I have created this user when migrating other items over before migrating the Virtualmin sites.

Is there any way to tell Virtualmin to use the existing UID/GID or a way to specify what UID/GID it should use without clashing? I'm willing to experiment with a patch if one is available.

Thanks!
