Plugins will not Update on new install to Ubuntu 14.04

I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and I saved my preference folder prior to the clean install. Everything is working(almost) but there is a list of a dozen or so plugins that I had on the old install that won't update. I replaced the prefs folder in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver with the one from the old install. I am fairly sure this is a permission issue as the other folders in /var/lib/squeezeboxserver have LogitechMediaServer as the owner with create and delete permission but the replaced prefs folder is owned by root. Could some kind soul help me correct the recursive ownership/permissions of this folder?
Thanks
