I would have done this totally different. I would have done a mixed mode
release restore of the system to get everything on the new system that I had
on the old system.
You can clean up some of the old user profiles on the old system before
starting, in fact clean up all the crap (technical description) that you
don't wish to bring over to the new machine. Then do a Full System Save (GO
SAVE option 21)
I would have just loaded the License internal code of 6.1 (prefer 6.1.1),
and then load just the base OS. Then I would have used the Full System save
to restore the User profiles, configuration objects, the *NONSYS, the DLO,
and finally the IFS. Run the RSTAUT, and then do an upgrade from 5.3 to
6.1.
I have done this probably a 100 times, works like a champ. Everything is
saved (except spool files, unless you are on V5R4 and above then you can
bring spool files as well).
There is no better way to do this.

Subject: Restoring user profiles and QUSRSYS
Thanks to everyone's help I was able to get my new system up and running.
Now I'm at the point of bringing over the user profiles from v5r3 to v6r1.
I have saved them on the old system using SAVSECDTA but I'm unsure if I
should bring them over for a couple of reasons:
1. Many user profiles are no longer in use and now seems like a good time
to get rid of them.
2. The old system was at security level 20 and the new one is at level 40
and many of the old profiles had *SECOFR authority. Now seems like a
really good time to end that poor practice.
Any thoughts? Should I just bring over the old profiles or should I
create new ones and make everyone recreate their passwords?
Secondly, I need to brong over old output queues and printer
configurations. These are stored in QUSRSYS I believe. Obviously the new
system already has a QUSRSYS and I don't want to replace the v6r1 QUSRSYS
with objects from v5r3. What is the best way to handle this?
