Hi,

I finally solved looking the location dirs side by side with mc.

Moving from the old machine on the removable drive and from the latter to
the newer machine changed the case of the VAR and WIND file inside the
location dirs. What sounds very strange to me is why only those two files
plus a MYNAME one...

Changing WIND and VAR to upper case solved the problem as CheckMapset
returns true.

Thank you all for helping
