Yeah, this is a pain. Especially if you're trying to move the DB. But it seems like the issues you're having aren't so much related to the move.
Let us know if vision63's suggestion fixes it. One tip though, always develop the site on the same host that will end up hosting it. Almost all hosts are a little different, and thing that work with one may not work with another. WordPress takes advantage of a lot of the environment and not all hosts offer a full hosting environment. Almost every time I've moved a WP site to another host there's been problems. It often results in finger pointing.
One thing I do like about Dreamhost is they actually try to make sure their hosting is compatible with popular apps like WordPress. Many other hosts act like the apps need to be compatible with them.
