Left Over Problems w/ Server Migration

When I migrated my current project, built on EE, from one server to the next, I changed all the file paths and DB information correctly and got the site working in no time.  However, I’ve recently run into some left over issues with the server migration:

I can’t edit any membership settings.

It looks like I didn’t dig far enough into the EE preferences and have found a bunch of old paths in the Membership Settings menus, but am unable to change any of them, always receiving an error message like the following:

The following path you submitted is not valid:
/mnt/FOLDER/FOLDER/FOLDER/domains/andywilks.com/html/images/member_photos/

* I replaced the actual folder names with FOLDER; I don’t feel comfortable posting server information for a client’s server.

The funny thing is, I got this error message when trying to change the server path and URL for the Signature Image Upload folders.  Every time I try to change path names to any of these sub-image folders, I get an error telling me that the path for a different sub-image folder is incorrect.

Because I can’t change any of these paths, none of the member features seem to work.

The image folder, the sub-image folders within, and all the images have 777 file permissions.
