Download Super Duper
The way I did this was using SuperDuper. I backed up the internal disk (Leopard) to a volume on an external USB disk. Then I rebooted using that external volume (SuperDuper makes the backup volumes bootable). I ran the install process on the Snow Leopard CD to upgrade that external volume to Snow Leopard, using the complete replacement method. Then I reinstalled the Applications I needed and copied the data from the old installation - so I had a complete new installation of Snow Leopard - but on an external disk.
Having tested to ensure all worked correctly on that, I then erased the original disk and reformatted it, then used SuperDuper again to copy all files from the external disk to the new partition on the internal one. So my internal disk now has a new installation of Snow Leopard, including the Applications and data.
The system boots correctly with no errors and the Applications all seem to be working. The whole thing is so much faster than it used to be. Time Machine has backed up the new volume several times and (as far as I can tell) seems to have completed.
The only problem is that SuperDuper now fails to back up the new volume. It says it failed to enable ownership of the drive.
I tried to repair permissions in Disk Utility (booted off the Snow Leopard CD) and got this error:

Is there any way to repair the SUID file please?
All of this was done on the same machine by the same user, so I would have thought all rights would have been the same. Clearly I am missing something.
Any ideas please? I really don't want to have to reinstall as apart from this everything seems to be working fine.
Edit - the external volumes do seem to backup successfully - so they do not seem to have this error. The copy process would not have worked if that had not been the case. Only the internal disk seems to have this error.
