Thanks, Rufus.

I'll tread lightly with my new power :-)

Best,
Tim

I'm planning to make it possible for users who created a dataset to be able to move it, but you will still need help in setting up an organization.  If may be that you're happy to leave it in the Global org, in which case you're probably just waiting for me to enable you as an editor on the dataset - this will hopefully be before the end of the coming weekend, if you need it sooner, please email me and let me know.

Whilst I was waiting for my migration script to finish last night (it took about 5 hours to clean spam and move the datasets) I also installed varnish, so if you see any caching irregularities, please just shout.
