Responsible field does not default correctly

Responsible field does not default correctly

I have recently upgraded my gnats database from version 3 to version4. I have 9 pre-existing databases. When a new PR is created in one of these databases, the responsible does not default correctly to the person named as responsible for that category in the categories file. 
Since upgrading, I have created a new database, by copying the structure of a pre-existing database and amending the config files in gnats-adm as appropriate. When a PR is created in this new database it does default to the correct user. 

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?

What exactly happens instead ?

From this much information, no. But I have an idea about what you could
do next:
If you copied the structure of an old database to build a new database,
the databases should be rather similar. You might try a 'diff' between
the old and the new 'dbconf' and 'responsible' files (from 'gnats-adm')
to see if something shows up.

When I converted from Gnats 1.113 to 3.999.1 I had not much trouble...
