JZ has the right idea, but IIRC the wrong file.  The paths for the newsrc 
files are found in servers.xml, not preferences.xml.

So if you're running with pan's data dir at the default ~/.pan2, look at 
~/.pan2/servers.xml.

Be careful when you edit to only change the paths.  Don't mess up the XML 
tags.  FWIW, it should be a pretty straight forward find and replace as 
long as you're careful. =:^)
