Moving Exchange 2010 Mailboxes - INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS

So last night I set up a batch of my user mailboxes to move over from the 2003 server to the 2010 server. Most of them worked just fine, with the exception of one user whose mailbox threw an Active Directory error when attempting the move request. The error message was of course long and fantastic, but what stood out to me was the line INSUFF_ACCESS_RIGHTS.

Did some searching and found this post discussing this error and how you can fix it: Linkage.

After setting security inheritance on the user object in AD and clearing out the old move request in the EMS by using the Remove-MoveRequest command, I was able to do a new move request that completed successfully. What's interesting is that the user was not in any protected AD groups (i.e. Domain Admins, Schema Admins) so i'm curious as to why his security inheritance was disabled. Regardless, the mailbox finally moved over so that's OK with me for now.
