Also, the bookmarks are probably useless, because they point to files on a different system. Because of that, there is probably no way to transfer bookmarks. > > To amplify what Christiaan said, the bookmarks point to the absolute path for each item bookmarked. For instance, the file foo.bar might sit at /Users/Johndoe/Documents/foo/foo.bar Unless an item you have bookmarked on the first computer can be reached following exactly the same path on the second computer /Users/Johndoe/Documents/foo/foo.bar the bookmark will fail silently. It is impossible for a simple bookmark to work any other way (there is nothing in a bookmark.plist that would allow it to do a search on your computer to find a file of the name you happened to have bookmarked. After all, who is to say if it did have that capacity that there wouldn't be five different files of the same name (there are many file names on my computer that get used more than once? Bookmarks really have to just point to a path.) On the other hand, if you choose to have the same username and the same file folder structure on all computers you interact with then the bookmarks are quite happily portable.
