Ok ... so you have drawn the short straw by the sounds of things.  I am
still a bit lost about what you are trying to acheive.  If you are
trying to move an install from one machine to another ... here is what I
would do:

mysqldump the old install

Untar the tarball ... run a cvs update

Copy over your old header.inc.php file.

Manually edit the header file for your new db server name

import the db data

Run the setup again to make sure everyting is upto date

That should be it.  If i have misunderstood, could you please explain a
bit more.
