USMT and the Recycle Bin

[Kurios]

I have a business requirement to migrate the data in the Recycle Bin. I
cannot seem to find a way to include the Recycle Bin in the migration in
any way. I can do it by means other than USMT, but we would like to keep
all data migration controlled by the Microsoft User State Migration
Tool.

I removed the exclusion from sysfiles.inf:

[System Files.Patterns]
*,%CSIDL_BITBUCKET%\*,1

My inf is hard coding C:\Recycler (XP systems) as suggested by
Microsoft. I have tried %CSIDL_BITBUCKET% as well. Samples I have
attempted from my inf:

[Version]
Signature = $Windows NT$
DriverVer=01/13/2006,1.0.0.0

;[Copy This State]
;CopyFiles = Default.CopyFiles

;[Default.CopyFiles]
;dir=C:\Recycler\*, %csidl_personal%\_Deleted

[User Settings]
RecBin,, dir,C:\Recycler

[RecBin.Detect]
Directory,C:\Recycler,EXISTS

[RecBin.Instructions]
CopyFiles = RecBin.CopyFiles

[RecBin.CopyFiles]
dir=C:\Recycler\*, %csidl_personal%\_Deleted

I tried running Scanstate with nothing but my custom inf and it still
fails with an exclusion. I do not see anything that would cause the
exclusion in the default inf that are always used regardless if on the
command line (migism.inf and usmtdef.inf). Log entries from scanstate:

Info Directory object C:\Recycler matched arguments
Info Detected RecBin
Info Base specification for C:\Recycler\* is C:\Recycler
Status [Object 94] C:\Recycler
Info Object C:\Recycler is excluded in the scope of
HHOUXPDT1DR1P31\Administrator.

Anyone have any ideas on how to migrate the Recycle Bin using USMT?

Replies to group please. Thanks
