Something is not being updated correctly

I have three win8.1 devices.
Surface x64, win8.1pro, laptop x64 win8.1, Asus x86 win8.1 all on a home LAN, all works well.
I have a backup USB drive on the laptop that is shared and mapped as drive Q: for both the Surface and Asus.
Main machine is the Surface that I have installed PalemoonPortable (PMP).
At night I copy the entire PMP folder to Q:
In the morning I start the Asus and Restore the entire PMP Folder from Q: to synch with yesterday's use of PMP on the Surface.
When I try to run PMP on the Asus it flashes the splash-screen then slams PMP shut with no message.
I then overwrote PMP on the Asus with a new unzip of PMP install and it works fine. So I copied JUST the "User" folder from Q: - BUT it does NOT show the same Bookmarks as I had been using yesterday on the Surface. It seems like the FileAge may be being manipulated so it doesn't get overwritten. Or, maybe the Archive Attribute is being set/not-set or something. Or, maybe SQLite is rolling the data back for some reason.
With the not running problem, I have no idea why PMP slams shut on the Asus after the folder is copied as this used to work just fine a few weeks back and has been working for the prior six months. Nothing has changed on the Asus that I am aware of.
