Most likely it's that, while you are "jjj:jjj" on both computers, they are not 
the same User-ID/Group-ID on both computers. On the other computer user "jjj" 
is 1000 and group "jjj" is 1000, but on this one they are something else.

Check /etc/passwd and /etc/group on the two systems to make sure they're 
consistent.
