Are you doing this on the same machine or did you copy the data somehow? If the latter, did you make sure all files have the correct ownership and access rights? I am not sure if SUSE changed any paths, but also check whether there is a difference in where KDE stores things. Some distributions changed from $HOME/.kde to $HOME/.kde4 and some even back again. If the upgrade you are doing has such a change, you'll probably have to restore you backup first outside of KDE and then rename the directory to match the new path requirement.
