Copying UIs between Accounts

I recently set up a trial account for my brother to play. He likes my UI but my addon profiles do not show up in the dropdown box. I've even copied & pasted the files in the WTF folder to his WTF folder, as well as all addons in the Interface/Addons folders. My profiles still do not show up on his character.
How can I get my UI on his character without customizing everything again from scratch?

You know where it says your characters name of your folder for your addon save files? Copy that across and then rename it. It should pick it up and you should be alright.

Negative. There are no character names in the Addons folder.

I did this with the WTF folder, since its the only place I found character names and it didn't work. =(

What addons, specifically, are you having issues with?
Did you copy the ENTIRE WTF folder? Did you make sure you renamed the entire character tree? (you would have to rename 3 folders: the one with your account name, the one with your realm name, and the one with your character name).

All of them installed: Pitbull4, Bartender4, Chinchilla, Prat3.0, AzCastBar, etc. No profiles from my account appear on his account.

No, I copied just my toon folder and pasted it in his //WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/Server folder. I deleted his Character folder and renamed my pasted folder his character's name.
It doesn't change any of the addon's from their default position.
I also left his folder alone and re-pasted my folder in his server folder with my toon's name unchanged in hopes that would allow for my toon's profile to appear in the "Copy from" dropdown box.
Nothing seems to work.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is all on the same computer. So its very confusing why I wouldn't be able to copy my UI to his account.

Bump. Can nobody help me? =(
I'm aware people can share their UIs so I don't understand why I'm having such a hard time with this.

Go into the WTF file, then delete the folder that is named after his account, replace it with the one named after your account, then rename it to the name of his account. Then rename the server name, and the character name to his and you should be set.

This is what I've tried so far. The file path goes like this:
//World of Warcraft//WTF/Accounts/ (then it breaks off into two paths) :
/ACCOUNTNAME1/Area52/Mycharacter
&
/ACCOUNTNAME2/Garrosh/Hischaracter
What I would do is Delete "Hischaracter" folder from the "Garrosh" folder. Then Copy & Paste "Mycharacter" folder into the "Garrosh" folder. Rename "Mycharacter" to "Hischaracter", then load the game. Doing so would not make his UI look like my UI (everything on his screen would still appear in their default settings), however his keybinding settings from Bartender4 would be copied from mine.
I got him to create a new character just to test things out, but it would still not work. The only profiles to appear on the new character is the first character he created. So given that situation, it would appear its only possible to share profiles with characters on the account. It's infuriating! >_<
Go into the WTF file, then delete the folder that is named after his account, replace it with the one named after your account, then rename it to the name of his account. Then rename the server name, and the character name to his and you should be set.
Doing this freezes up the log in screen on "Authenticating". =(
EDIT: But after it's done freezing (which only takes a few seconds), it loads the game and YES I am able to copy from my character's profiles! Thanks. =D

Bah, it never works the way you'd expect.
So I was able to load profiles but now strange things are happening. SharedMedia doesn't seem to be working properly as I only have access to a total of 4 fonts. Plus, Pitbull4's texts options are limited to Lua, which prevents me from easily copying the text situations from my character's UF to his character's UF.
Thanks for all the help but with all this trouble, I might as well start from scratch after all.
