I personally detach all media from the guest, unregister the guest to make sure virtualbox agrees that I should be able to do so, move the xml file with the vdi file(s) to the new host, register the guest on the new host, attach the media, check the guest's settings, and everything is as it was on the old host. You can't do this between gnu/linux and windows hosts for example, but linux to linux and windows to windows should be no problem. You said you exported the guest from the old host to the new host. I can think of at least three ways to do that so it's possible you didn't use the method I described above.
