Right now you seem to be focusing on the problem of moving a pre-created 
stone from one machine to another .... which is slightly different than 
the original problem of copying the GsDevKit_home directory structure 
from one machine to another?

If we eliminate the pre-created stone from the equation, then presumably 
`tar -chf` or rsync can be used to copy the basic directory structure 
... including the cloned git repositories and if there are remaining 
issues with the basic scripts, I'm sure that we can resolve them once we 
identify them.

The majority of the problems you mention above have to do with copying a 
pre-created stone, which I agree is not a good idea, but is the the 
problem that needs to be resolved?

Specifically do you need to copy a pre-created stone from one machine to 
another?
