I just tried to import the addressbook.db and the summary file into
evolution. Apparently, evolution doesn't recognize it's own files.
So, my guess is that I would need to just copy the .evolution
folders/files that I want back to the new system... Is that correct?

I'm not sure about that. I do know, however, that Evolution has an
app called evolution-addressbook-export that will take your current
Evolution addressbook and convert it to a format that's easily
imported back into Evolution, as well as other mail apps. May not
help you this time, but maybe it's something to look at for next time.
