Hi Ian, I would recommend doing a complete, fresh install (of the software, not the site yet) to start out on the new server, rather than copying Review Board files over. Then do an SQL dump of your database (which are you using?) and import it onto the new server. Once you've done that, you should be able to create a site using rb-site install, and specify the information on your database. You my then want to do rb-site upgrade on it just to make sure all the migrations happened properly.
It's hard to say how well it will work, given the age of the software, but give it a try. It might work. If it doesn't, we'll look into another solution.
