Tim, Does VirtualBox 3.0 have an option under the File menu to Export Appliance? (I'm running 3.2.x, which does) If it does, try exporting the working virtual box. Note it doesn't like to export to a network share, at least with Linux, so just export it to something like your desktop or your /home/Documents directory. Once it's exported (if I recall correctly, it creates a total of three files), then you can copy all those files to your new machine. From the new machine, you then select File/Import Appliance from VirtualBox.
Of course, this is assuming that VirtualBox 3.0 HAS the Export/Import Appliance functionality.
