Haha. Sorry to laugh, but I did the same exact thing, nuking too many hidden directories to recover elegantly. I just ended up creating a new profile - it was worth it.
About your question, I'm not an f-spot developer, but I filed a bug that you might be weary of when doing this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622621 Not sure when it will be fixed, but it's something to be aware of. I think you're also going to lose any tags that you had on the photos, since those won't get imported either. For your future backups, may I recommend rsnapshot?
