Not syncing home users, they get admin watched status

I am attempting to migrate from my current plex vm, to a newly setup vm. I do not want to simply copy the database over, as I was hoping to clean up my data files. So I setup a clean plex install, added all my media folders, scanned everything in. I am signed into both plex with the same user. I have two local home users, plus many shared. When I run the sync, it is syncing my main admin user, but the local home users seem to be getting the admin users watch status. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
