While you're there, did you go straight from OS9 to Lion (10.7)?
I'm sorry I don't have time to read all your posts where you may have said this.
If yes, that is an Everest-sized leap and I'm not surprised you're having migration problems*. It was bad enough when we went from OS9 to Tiger (10.4), but at least after that the upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6) was pretty easy.
You missed Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard. I don't know why they gave them those names either.
