start the 2.2 dyne without the 2.1 nest
than create a "clear" nest for the 2.2
mount the 2.1 nest in a loop device (*)
copy everythink you need from the 2.1 nest to the 2.2 nest.
I've done this way for my files and my Gaim stuff.

(*) if you do not know how to mount the previus nest it's a easy task.
from the prompt shell / xterm create a mount point:
mkdir /mnt/temp
than mount the previus nest on that mountpoint
mount /mnt/hd1/1/dyne/dyne.nst /mnt/temp -o loop
now search into /mnt/temp !!!!!

of course /mnt/hd1/1/dyne/dyne.nst dependes on where the 2.1 nest is now!
