10.04 hard drive encryption and migrating a non-encrypted home directory to it

[BetterSense]

I bought a new hard drive. I installed 10.04 and enabled home directory encryption when it asked. I rebooted. Then I wanted to migrate my home directory off my old hard drive. What I was going to do, is plug my old hard drive in via USB. Then I was going to go

cd /home

sudo rm -rf /home/myself

then

cp -ravv /media/myoldharddrive/home/myself ./

The way I figured it, my whole home directory should be copied over, including all my settings and stuff.

However I can't rm -rf my home directory. It says .gvfs is busy. I know this is because of hard drive encryption, but I would like to know how I should migrate my home directory now. Can I instead simply do

sudo rm -rf /home/myself/*

and then

cp -ravv /media/myoldharddrive/home/myself/* ~/

I'm confused as to why .gvfs is in ~/myself and not just ~/, encrypting all users at the same time. I suppose different users are encrypted differently, but I only have one large passphrase that Ubuntu gave me, so I'm confused.

Do you have a third external hard drive?

You can use clonezilla to image your old drive and copy the image to your new drive.

Sorry about the formatting. I'm typing from a mobile device.
