No need for a quick and dirty hack, nuvexport handles this directly. 
Just pick the option to export to nuv and sql files, move them to the 
new machine's recordings directory and execute the sql. I do this all 
the time and it works great, all the details and commercial flagging 
info come across. However, you do need to be careful to adjust the 
recordinghost entry in the generated sql file. Also, when doing the 
export be sure to export into a directory on the same filesystem as 
your original recordings directory so nuvexport will copy the nuv file 
through a hard link and not a full copy. It's much faster.

There's no gui way to do this although someone was musing about a 
mythexplorer addition recently. Such a program would be the natural 
place to add a gui export function.
