That's my guess too.  I've had similar happen here, when I switched from 
Mandrake to Gentoo.

(My solution, since I had little or no non-default user config on the new 
setup, was to simply change the UID:GID of the new user to match the old 
one.  Far faster than doing a recursive chown over multiple gigs of files!)
