I still probably needed to use the method I did since I wasn't moving an entire data directory to an empty new one. I was only moving part of the old into my "new" (been using it for 8 months) dev environment. Cassidy – ah, thanks for the tip.

Assuming the paths were the same between installs, (if not, edit your my.cnf) innodb should happily come up just fine without missing a beat. Of course you'd want to have done the tarring with MySQL cleanly shutdown, otherwise you'd probably have some issue with ibdata files and probably the MyISAM files too. Another gotcha is if you change architectures and try and copy the ibdata files to a new box. You should have been able to tar up the whole data directory and extract it in its new home.
