I would *not* grab /usr/share/nagios or /usr/share/nagios3.  That
stuff is version specific.  You've just overwritten some nagios 3.2.x
files with nagios 3.0.x files.

The stuff I transfer on a Debian nagios is:

dirs="/etc/nagios3"
files="/var/lib/nagios3/retention.dat /var/www/index.html"

You may also want to grab /var/log/nagios3 if you want the old
history.
