The two guests are the same, I used rsync to copy the /vservers/guest 
and /etc/vservers/guest directories from the old system to the new system.

It looks like this is true the util-vserver on the original system is 
0.30.216-r2772-6 and the new system is 0.30.216-pre2864-2, which one 
should I be using? Is is safe to try to update this utility on a 
production system? Also, if this is a vserver config problem, what 
should I be looking for?

After taking a closer look it looks like the kernels are different too, 
the original is 2.6.29.6 and the new one is 2.6.31.7. But I still don't 
understand even with these differences, why I would be having these 
problems. What Kernel or Vserver settings would cause this kind of a 
problem?

What is the correct way to move a Vserver guest? I've never seen any 
instructions on how to do this. I used rsync.
