Doesn't cPanel have a built in feature for this?
Yeah WHM has built in feature for backup and restore as well.
try the old traditional way
======
1) SSH to the server from which the user is to be moved.
2) /scripts/pkgacct usernametobemoved
3) The tar file will be created in the /home directory as cpmove-usernametobemoved.tar.gz .
4) SCP this file to other server to the /home directory
scp cpmove-usernametobemoved.tar.gz root@new.servertomoveto.net:/home/
5) Run the script
/scripts/restorepkg usernametobemoved

I guess Nadder is a reseller, dont have SSH access :) Nadder, you can follow those steps
- click to "Copy an account from another server with account password" in Transfer section
- type IP of the old server, username and password
- setup
:)
it will move all the data from old server to your server, including web contents, emails, DB....

nadder, I said " Copy an account from another server with account password " in Transfer section, but I forgot to tell you that you do those steps in your WHM

Login to old hosts cpanel.
Download a backup.
Login to your cpanel. (new account)
Under "backups icon"
"restore backup"
To make sure you've gotten his databases, backup the databases via old cpanel also.

yes, with that feature, you need Cpanel password only. But it's your client's password, not yours.
Let's say, your client has account in server 65.203.24.35 with username as name1 and password is pass1, you need to fill out those information into the boxes in your WHM. and then, your WHM will copy his account from old server to your server.
