I have some serious account issues, that I really hope someone can help me out with.

I run a PB 12" 1.33 Ghz with 10.5.2.

History
I have recently upgraded my hard drive. I cloned the old one with the latest Carbon Copy Cloner. Before cloning I run disk repair and permissions repair with Disk Utility. No problem anywhere.

Replaced the old disk with the new cloned one and everything seemed fine.

But after an hour I found that I now have some strange error, that seem to be permission related.

Problem
My account is an admin account. Working with system preferences I have no problem verifying that I am an admin. But when, as an example, I try to run Cocktail, after authorization Cocktail just says I entered the wrong username and/or password.

Another error is that Preview now can not open any documents. No error codes or anything; the app launches as it should, but when opening a file (trough open-dialog, drag-and-drop or what ever) nothing happens.

I have run Disk Utility as well at Drive Genius, but all I get is "acl found but not expected". I have never got that answer before, but according to Apple support pages this is a typical 10.5.2-message and nothing to worry about. But this is the only report of something different I can found!

I have created a new admin account that works flawless. No problem what so ever. Running Disk Utility gives the same result as above.

So... how do I solve this?

Now what?
Is there a quick super-fix that _really_ fixes my user accounts permissions?

Or is there a way to merge all my personal data (Mail, iPhoto, Keychain...) into a new working account?

I still have the old hard drive in a firewire cabinet; If I boot from that one, move over all the new files from the new internal drive to make sure I do not loose any data; is there a way to import this external account to the internal drive/system? Just like if I would have made a fresh install on the internal drive and during setup choose to import accounts from an external source; but without the hassle of doing a fresh install?!

Thank you for reading all of this!
