custom settings disappear after moving

Hi,

I’ve noticed a problem that pops up occasionally when moving a WP install from one place to another (usually the same server.)

I copy all the files to their new location, get a mysql dump, update all references to the old paths in the sql file, then import it to the new database.

Everything always works just fine apart from custom settings, which disappear. They’re still in the database, but the admin panel and the frontend just don’t seem to see them.

Is there something obvious I’m overlooking here? I can post up the code I’m using to build the custom settings panels if necessary…

Cheers.
