Hi Jim,
cave you copied the stylename.xml files with the sld files?
They look like this:
<style>
<id>StyleInfoImpl--
*2e0631ee:136997f03ca:7037**
</id>
<name>ADDR_addresspoint_1</name>
<sldVersion>...........etc
This ID is the definition and the reference for geoserver. It turns up in
the layer.xml
<layer>
<name>VMADD.ADDRESS</name>
<id>LayerInfoImpl--4c68f0d5:128cd132f0d:-7f8a</id>
<type>VECTOR</type>
<defaultStyle>
<id>StyleInfoImpl--*2e0631ee:136997f03ca:7037*</id>
</defaultStyle>.....
which is why it makes sense to copy always both, the 'styles' directory and
the 'workspaces' including their subdirectories. Otherwise you will have
layers without valid styles and styles without layers.
The names of styles do not matter for geoserver internally.
Actually there is more to it, which is the integrity between workspaces and
stores and layers and layergroups and styles. And, if you reference for
instance shapefiles and not just databases the data directory as well.
Because of that I thought it always safer to copy the entire data directory
and then update 'www', 'plugins', 'security', 'user_projections' and all the
other stuff when updating geoserver.
Cheers
Christian
