Salvaging stored web-pages

I have recently had to install Debian Sarge on a new HD, because my old
HD gave signs of being terminally sick. And I copied successfully all
the personal configuration files from my old /home directory to the new
drive.

As far as I can judge everything (including the supplied WWWOFFLE after
minor tweaks) works well.

However, I have lost the data previously stored in
/var/cache/wwwoffle/http.  If I copy it to the same location in the new
HD, all the content can be accessed when I am offline, but WWWOFFLE
notifies an unfixable error that should not happen when I try to use
it online with the pasted old http directory (it works perfectly when
allowed to create its own new http directory).

What have I <missed|overlooked>?  

Would

 cp -uR <old http/.> <new http/>

solve the problem?
