I never use Applications Express and so know very little about it, but it
sounds as if the source file is storing the name of the original database.
It would need to do that in order to provide you, with lists of tables,
form, reports, and so on when you are designing.

You can test this hypothesis by searching the original source file (I think
it has an API extension) with some string or grep tool for the original
database name.  If it's in there, then you are going to want to change it.

Actually, I just built a quick APW and checked it.  The database name
appears to be stored in characters 8 through 15 of the APW file, without any
path information.  Presumably, you could use a hex editor to overwrite those
8 characters with the name of your new database.  If you try it, make sure
to work on a COPY of the APW file.

Best,
