Back when I migrated to Fedora 24, all the user/group ids changed.
At that time I discovered rsync's --usermap and --groupmap.  Its format is:
old_uid:new_username
old_gid:new_groupname
rsync -axAXv --delete --numeric-ids  --usermap=400:bob,391:smbguest  --groupmap=400:bob,391:smbguest  rsync://oldserver.com/home/ /home/

Of course there were many more users that just the two so I created a bash script:
#! /usr/bin/bash
USERMAP=400:bob,301:smbguest,501:bill,600:fred,....
GROUPMAP=400:bob,301:smbguest,501:bill,600:fred,435:staff,....
rsync -axAXv --delete --numeric-ids  --usermap=$USERMAP  --groupmap=$GROUPMAP  rsync://oldserver.com/home/ /home/

Hope this helps someone,
Bill

Further info on this. The problem appears to be with the user
account that was being used for testing.

The user account that was created with Anaconda permits ssh login.
The problem account is using a directory that was leftover from the
Fedora 30 install.  

You created that user again after the install?  It most likely has
the wrong permissions since the user will most likely have a
different userid than it did before.  Do "ls -l /home" to check that.
 And if the permissions are wrong, then run "chown -R user:
/home/user" (replacing "user" in all cases with the real username").

More than likely that was the problem. I recreated the user and copied
the non-dot files over and did the chown thingy,
