I'm not sure if you should spend money on this. Are you sure that you followed these directions step-by-step?

You said you copied the SQL database file, and you copied all of the relevant files from the DB (are you sure you have wp-content,wp-includes, etc.?) So you should be in good shape. There are only tiny tiny small changes to make if you have done those two steps correctly. If you follow the above link you should be able to resolve it yourself. If not, shoot me a message.
