A few possibilities...

Changes between 7.0 and 8.0.2 that could have caused this:
  • New techniques were added to locking the ID file with a smartcard in 7.0.2 and 8.0
  • Support for 4096 bit RSA keys was added to 8.0
  • New ID file encryption mechanisms were added in 8.0.1

I'd consider the last point the most likely -- if the user changed his password on the 8.0.2 machine and chose one of the AES-based ID file encryption algorithms, no client before 8.0.1 would be able to decrypt the ID file. You can check this fairly easily by opening the User Security Dialog; there is a field on the first pane for "ID File encryption strength", and if that field mentions AES, then the ID can only be used by 8.0.1+. You should be able to downgrade the ID file encryption strength by either having the user change their password again and pick an RC2-based algorithm, or by using a security policy setting to enforce the use of RC2-128 for ID file encryption. The security policy setting will result in 8.0.1+ clients automatically re-encrypting the ID file for the new mechanism, no password change required.

Hope that helps,

dave
