You'd want to go to the datastore table and look for the row where title='options' and edit the value of the data field. It has the values of all the options in serialized format, so you need to search through the text looking for the value you need to change, and if the new value has a different length you'd also need to edit the length field. For example, if the field was currently set to "foo", somewhere in the data you'd find s:3:"foo", and if you wanted to change it to "something" you'd change it to s:9:"something".

If you get to the admincp after editing it, the options will still show the old value so the first thing you want to do is find that option and change it again (if you change anything else first, then the field you changed will go back to the old value).

Obviously this is a bit complicated if you aren't used to doing things like this, and it could be dangerous if you change the wrong thing (so you'd want to have a database backup if you don't already). Also, I'm not sure if that's what your problem is, I'm just going by what you said.

Wow. I think I should follow ForceHSS's suggestion for that!

Alternatively, I'm thinking to just over-write my forum database sql file with my backup copy from the move. That has internal settings that are correct since they would be unchanged.

Btw, if I recall correctly, there are three settings inside VB options for the forum location setting. All three have to be corrected.
