If your users cannot access categories after migration, please go to Kunena Category Manager check you category access that it doesn't say Only Public, Only Registered, Only Editor or something similar.

This issue is caused from a bug in Kunena 1.6 that caused the Primary Includes Child Groups = No setting to be ignored.
