what options did you use to rsync the directories over? And does

restorecon -r -v /home

show any differences/changes. rsync does not copy over metadata or general
ACL's without additional options so if there are selinux or other acl items
on the files they are not copied

man rsync

rsync -AXSHPav .thunderbird/ <otherhost>:~/.thunderbird/

may also help.
