I just moved a self-hosted site from one domain to another, using Joost de Valk's instructions (sorry I can't provide a link).
The new site is displaying perfectly, but the wp-admin section is formatted horribly. All function, however, seem to be working fine.
You can see a screenshot at http://www.lanelester.com/wp-admin.png
I'm hoping you know how to fix this, because I'm clueless.

I looked that page over, and it's similar what I did.
Interestingly, the General Settings:
WordPress Address (URL)
Site Address (URL)
look like they are correct, but they cannot be changed. The fields are not accessible.
I used the Search and Replace plugin to update the database after importing the old one. It must have changed the above URL settings, because I didn't make the change before I exported the old database.
I didn't see anything in the procedure you linked that would explain why the formatting of the admin section is screwed up.
BTW, the link to the procedure I followed is http://yoast.com/move-wordpress-blog-domain-10-steps/ I did not find step 4 needed.

The fields are not accessible.
Check your wp-config.php file.

Oh, yes! Yoast's instructions had me adding these lines to wp-config.php:
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.mountaingallery.net');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.mountaingallery.net');
