The new DA Mover does a better job of moving private owned resources in that
in many cases it will renumber the owned resources properly.  There are some
exceptions, but it recognizes and refuses to move those DA's.  These
are DA's such as the original Calendar DA, which could walk over other
DA's on installation with the old DA Mover.  

There ARE however DA's such as the time DA which are incompatible with the
new Finder.  The author of the Time DA posted a revised DA with that 
statement, unfortunately he didn't post an explanation of the 
incompatibilities.--
