or alternatively do (and preferably from single user mode, with a "mount 
-a" to mount all of the fs):

         cd /usr
         tar cf - ./local | (cd /muz; tar xf -)
         find ./local -type f -exec cksum {} \; > /var/tmp/cksums_usr
         cd /muz
         find ./local -type f -exec cksum {} \; > /var/tmp/cksums_muz
         diff /var/tmp/cksums_*

         (the cksum output files should be identical...)

         rm -r /usr/local
         ln -s /muz/local /usr/local
