Hello, the easiest way is to delete the plist which you cannot find, however it must be there as it is created whenever Espionage tries to load. Maybe you are no looking in the right place.
Please write the following command from terminal:
sudo find / -name *.EspionageHelper.plist -print
and hit enter, it will ask you for your login password, this is OK, just enter it and then hit enter.
This command will search your entire disk and list if it finds any file name EspionageHelper.plist
This will reveal the path the file is in, and then you can delete it, reboot and Espionage should start fine after that.
The reason for trouble is probably the change of your home folder path after migration.
If this does not work, yes you can manually uninstall Espionage, but again one of the files you have to remove is exactly this plist file, here is the complete list of files you have to delete:
/Users/[your username]/Library/Application Support/Espionage
/Users/[your username]/Library/LaunchAgents/com.taoeffect.EspionageHelper.plist
/Users/[your username]/Library/Services/EspionageMenu.service (might not exist)
/System/Library/Extensions/iSpy.kext
/Library/iSpy
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.ispyd.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.Espionage.plist (might not exist)
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.taoeffect.Espionage (might not exist)
Let me know if you did not succeed.
Rgds
