I think troubleshooting this problem is going to require a console log from
the affected jobs. Can you sanitize one and send it to this list?

I would move the whole Jenkins home directory (the one above the jobs
folder) into the new install. There are lots of xml files in there that
define the system/plugin config.  On an older install this could be a huge
amount of disk space, but most of that should be in the jobs folder. In
there, only the config.xml files are crucial.
