figured out what was wrong. i was on a shared server so all the databases had to start with the prefix "otherroad_"

So after trying to find MySQL query browser's seemingly nonexistant rename database feature, I google, got some quick and dirty method that completely erased my data. After recovering it, I finally created the correctly named database and did a mysql dump via command line to the new database. Then I was able to successfully migrate the database.

All that work for a couple of tables.
