i think i can now pinpoint the bug.

to recap:

after running the migration module, all document storage directories
were changed to uuids, and their content was correctly migrated as well.
only the sitetree.xml lacked the uuid attributes, making the entire
publication unusable.

for some reason, one single page did get a uuid attribute, and a quick
look showed that it was the only page that *was not live*.

i went ahead and nuked the directories under content/live and added an
empty sitetree, and set all is_live entries in the content/authoring
meta files to "false" via sed.

now the migration works, all nodes get the correct uuids. only minor
quirk is that the status of the documents is reported as "live / not
live", the former due to the workflow version entries and the latter due
to my workaround.


i still need to reproduce this behaviour with the default pub, but first
i must sing and dance around for a while to celebrate that i can get
back to work at last after 2 hard months of testicles-dangling waiting
for fixes...
