IM 0.8.14RC3 "Couldn't Create User Dir"

My old (reliable) W2k SP4 server running IIS5, PHP v4.3.8 and 
IlohaMail 0.8.14RC3 can't handle the load anymore.

Trying to get up a W2k3 R2 SP2 server running IIS6, PHP v5.2.6 and a 
straight copy of the original IM 0.8.14RC3 from the old server. 
Using the "FS" backend, all my paths are the same, and my "IUSR" has 
appropriate NTFS permissions to create/write the user data files 
specified by $DATA_DIR in CONF.PHP.

Yet, an attempt to login spits back "Couldn't create user dir" on 
the login page.

PHP seems 'normal' as best as I understand from output of 
"phpinfo()". Any ideas? Is there, perhaps, something queer in PHP5 
that PHP4 didn't suffer?

thanks,

If you have copied all user-dirs from previous W2k it is not needed that 
IM try to "create-user-dir" again.

You need to check your installation, but there are something different.

I am sorry to do not give you some tip, but I do not know Windows 
neither IIS.

Thanks Rodolfo.

After I had pulled all but one hair out of my head, I realized I 
hadn't created the subdirs (cache,gpg,sessions,uploads,users) in
