Do you mean you copy the directory of .tar.bz2 packages and then use
setup to install them, or you copy the installed directory?  The former
should work fine, but not the latter.

That is the result of the postinstall scripts not being run or failing
when setup tries to run them.  Check the setup logs to find out what
happened.  BLODA could be a factor here.
