The URL's you're refering to are most likely within post content? If
so, The URL is stored within the HTML of the post itself.
If you move between domains, the recomended way is to use the
Export/Import process which takes care of changing paths.
However, in this case, you can simply do a search/replace for the old
url, and replace with the new url. A plugin such as Search and
Replace: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/ or
using direct SQL replacements is the normal way to update those
details.

All the text works (I think), and I've deleted the .htaccess file and recreated it by renewing the permalinks. But still, for images that go in posts, I have the directory in their path, so they call fail.
