Migration Assistant Error Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred?

Hello, world.
A few days ago I replaced my the 97% full 100GB hard drive in my Dad's Core Duo 2.0GHz Macbook Pro with a 500GB but I received an ominous error at the end of the Migration Assistant transfer.  Here are the steps I took:
1.  Replaced physical drive.
2.  Booted up from OS X Snow Leopard disc.
3.  Formatted new drive as OS X Journaled using Disk Utility.
4.  Installed OS X Snow Leopard on the new drive.
5.  When prompted by OS X Installation, I selected transfer data from another volume.
6.  Placed the old drive in an enclosure and connected via USB.
7.  At this point I let Migration Assistant take over.
It took an hour and a half or more to transfer the data and everything SEEMS fine.  However, at the end I received the following error message from Migration Assistant:
Errors and Warnings:
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal_info_block" could not be transferred
I have searched around but I've been unable to find any information on this.  In other instances of these warnings, people seemed to be pointing the finger at moving from PowerPC macs to Intel Macs but this was Intel-->Intel.
I did find someone suggest one other thing in another thread:
"My reading of those error messages indicates that there's something wrong with the journaling files on the PB. I suggest that you disable and reenable it on the PB"
However, I do not know how to enable or disable journaling without reformatting the drive from scratch as journaled or non-journaled.

Question:  Should I be worried and does anyone know specifically what this error indicates?  Is it possible that my dad's old hard drive was NOT formatted for journaling and MA was looking for these journal related files and unable to find them?
Thank you all in advance for your help,
Nick

What options did you select for Migration Assistant to transfer? For instance, did you select network & computer settings?
"Opt" sounds like the name of a folder, not a file type. On your 13" MacBook, do you have any folder by that name, especially in your home folder?
Also, have you run Disk Utility's *verify disk* check on the MacBook's drive?
