All persistant user data, including worksheeds, should be stored in the ~/.sage directory (unless specifically specified otherwise). I'm not sure why you have stuff in ~/sage_notebook (unless it's from a really old copy of Sage), but you if you copy ~/.sage from your old vmware image (or computer) to the new one, everything should be there. That's probably the easiest way to do it (for now).
