Hopefully someone has a full VBScript sample for you, but to get started you
should be able to use the CopyFolder method of the Script Runtime:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/script56/html/jsmthCopyFolder.asp

For the permissions part, try MoveUser.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource
Kit tools:

MSH C:\Tmp> moveuser.exe /?

Command Line Syntax:

moveuser <user1> <user2> [/y] [/c:computer] [/k]

Description:

moveuser.exe changes the security of a profile from one user to another.
This allows the account domain to change, and/or the user name to change.

Arguments:

user1 Specifies a user who has a local profile.
user2 Specifies the user who will own user1's profile. This
account must exist.
/y Allow overwrite of existing profile.
/c Specifies the computer to make the changes to.
/k Specifies if user1 is a local user, then the user account
should be kept.

Specify domain users in DOMAIN\USER format. Specify only USER for
local accounts.
