Normally, if you add pictures to Mnemosyne using the built-in method (popup menu after right-click on the card), Mnemosyne copies the files to default.db_media, and only stores a relative link to the image (i.e. the link will read <img src="image.png">, without the full path). That way, just copying your entire data directory (C:\Users\*David*\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne) is enough to get everything working out of the box.
If you manually edited the picture paths, then that's of course a different story. However, the error message you post has nothing to do with pictures. I suggest you just delete again the data directory ...\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne on your new computer, and copy the entire data directory again from your old computer to the new computer. If you haven't manually edited image paths on your old computer, that should work out of the box.
