Mike, 
I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish.  If all you want to 
do is backup your XO laptop to the XS-150, try using the approach 
documented here:

https://www.georgestarcher.com/?p=113

Basically, you will "rsync" the XO's /home directory to a directory on 
the XS machine.  The journal is buried deep down below the home directory.

I am assuming the XO and the XS (your old laptop) are on the same subnet
of the wired/WiFi hub router.

Thanks
