Hello ba:
Based on what you describe, I have to say I do not know as I have never done anything like that myself. A "normal" way to move from an old to a new computer would be to use Apple's migration assistant.
However, I cut/pasted this information from a knowledge base article. Hopefully it will help:
+Archive and Install or installation on different volume (partition)+
+If you choose to "Archive and Install" the later version over the earlier one, or installed the later version on a different volume or partition, your previous addresses will not be automatically imported. To import them, follow the steps below. You can also follow these steps if for any reason you wish to re-import your previous addresses.+
+1. Be sure that Mail, Address Book, and iChat are quit.+
+2. If you have not used these three applications since upgrading, skip to Step 9. If you have used them since upgrading, you will need to remove certain Address Book data before importing your previous addresses (Steps 3 to 8).+
+3. Click the Finder icon in the Dock.+
+4. Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.+
+5. Type: ~/Library/Application Support/+
+6. Click Go.+
+7. Here, locate the folder named "AddressBook".+
+8. Drag the AddressBook folder to the Trash, or if you prefer, drag it to a backup location.+
+9. Copy the "Addresses" folder from the Library folder of your previous Home directory to the Library folder of your current Home directory. For reference, the pathname of your previous Address folder would be:+
+/Previous Systems/Previous System 1/Users/{your username}/Library/Addresses+
+The folder to copy it to would be:+
+/Users/{your username}/Library/+
+10. Rename the "Addresses" folder you copied to "AddressBook".+
+11. Open Mail, Address Book or iChat. Your previous addresses will be imported automatically.+
