Err. Role groups? I don't think I touched role groups. 

I imported the data with a perl script that gathers and massages my 
would-be RT data, builds data structures to reflect the 
Ticket/Transaction/Attachment/Customfield/Object model and database 
scheme in RT, and pumps the data structures into RT via DBIx::Abstract. 

I associated Tickets and Transactions with RT users by finding the Users
id from RT3.Users based on existing user associations in the original 
projects database (for projects, and transaction items). Putting the
Tickets into the appropriate Queues involved building a hash that 
allowed me to switch QueueID based on the user association for each 
Ticket/Transactional item during my row loops.  
 
I'm sure it would behoove me to use the RT API. Apparently I'm one of
those "the hard-way" first type of people. I have every intention of
learning the RT API, again, it seemed faster/easier (until this) to 
do the 'backend' work myself.

I feel like I'm *very close, but missed the role/groups part during
Ticket creation.

Would you care to see the script? I'll send it to you, or the list 
whatever you prefer. In the meantime, I'll look into role groups.

Thanks,
