No, it turns out that the Favorites entries WERE copied
to the Favorites folder in the new HD. I was expecting
that the contents of the target Favorites folder would be
identical to those in the source Favorites. But since the target
Favorites derived from a clone of the old HD which I made
a couple months ago, the contents were *almost* identical,
and I didn't realize that entries that had been slightly renamed
in the source Favorites were *added* to the target Favorites
folder and they did not *replace* the target entries that hadn't
been renamed. Seeing the old versions in the target Favorites
made me believe that the transfer hadn't taken place.
