[Users] Upgrade from 3.1

[Christian Kolquist]

We have a NFS storage cluster (Isilon) for the domain.

The main question: is there a way to bring in an existing storage domain
to a new engine without exporting it then importing it?  This would be
good for not just upgrades but also disaster recovery as well.
