The super user is not god, that was seen to be an insecure thing.
The super user is a facilitator for creating god... ;-)

Might help if you said what problems you were experiencing...

Basic steps I would try are either:
-just bring the data.fs from you 2.1 install and replace the blank one
in the 2.2 with a *copy* of it..
-export stuff, as required, from you old install and move it into your
new one...

...maybe when you solve your problem you could write some documentation
on how to solve similar ones?

see zdp.zope.org
