EMCopy is used to copy data within the filesystem, not the shares (and share permissions) themselves.

We used emcopy to migrate 500+ GB of files from over 100+ shares. Set up the new Isilon shares how you want the permissions to be. Then just use emcopy to move the files. We built a few VM's to be our copy engines.
Syntax Used:
emcopy64.exe \\OLDSHARE\FSname \\NEWSHARE\FSNAME /o /s /a /de /cm md5 /c /r:1 /w:1 /lg /chunk /stream /preserveSIDh /f /th 256 /tee /sdd /nosec /log F:\emcopy\log\LOGNAME.txt

Be careful when using /cm md5 with emcopy. It's nice in that it'll MD5 hash every single file, but it does that every single time, so even on incrementals it'll take a really, really long time. These days most bulk migrations to Isilon are done with DobiMiner from Datadobi. On the technical side, it md5 hashes every file on the first full, but only the new or changed files on the incrementals, so you get that level of confidence in the data without the harsh performance overhead. It'll also automatically spread and balance the load across multiple proxy servers, and is orders of magnitude faster than emcopy or rsync. But of course it's commercial and not free. There's a lot more in there too, certainly reach out directly if you have any questions.
Disclaimer: I liked it so much when working for Isilon corporate that I now work for Datadobi.

Be aware that sharedup is not fully supported for use with Isilon as a target, because although in OneFS 7.1.1 and above shares can be created via MSRPC, Local users and groups are not available via MSRPC, so if sharedup tries to put a local group called 'hr' for instance from the source share permissions into the target share permissions, it's attempt at looking up that target group will fail, and sharedup will fail. Your best bet for share creation is do simply dump all the source shares to a CSV, pull them into excel, and then recreate them on the target manually via script. If it's only 5 or 10 shares, even that may be overly complicated.
