Yeeeeesssss!!! Solved it.
I created new profile, same name as old profile. Then when game created the Profile in the new My Documents location, I just copied and pasted the old Saved Games (not the folder, but the save game folders themselves) into the new Saved Games folder.
This fooled the game into thinking that the new profile contained the Saved Games. Seems like using the same Profile name is the key.
Good luck gents.
