The folks who mentioned the rights problems with Joliet are correct, you need to use tar. However, one thing that they didn't mention...you also need to ensure that the uid's and gid's for your users are the same between the two machines. Check in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. If the uids and gids don't match, you'll have users unable to access their own files, but able to access somebody else's.
