Even though I did not test Enigma on 64 bit architectures I did design 
all files in the userdata path "~/.enigma/" to be sharable between 
different architectures and OS's.

The bug report shows that Aaron did just copy the "enigma.score" file. 
But this file is married with the "state.xml" file. You have to 
backup/copy/share both. The best strategy is to share the complete folder.

All OS/architecture dependent preferences are stored in "~/.enigma.xml". 
This file contains just a few properties - and of course the reference 
to the user path itself. BTW the user path can be set in the Options 
menu to any path you like.

The error message  "Mismatch of state.xml and enigma.score" occurs on a 
string compare. All architecture dependent errors should cause other 
messages.

@Aaron: if the problems still remain on the amd64 please delete the 
enigma.score - restart Enigma and send me "enigma.score" and "state.xml" 
for analysis purposes.

best regards,
