Reference: How to manually change domain in magento

So it turns out the problem was that Apache didn't have write permissions toWEBROOT/varDirectory, so magento was using its cache from the system/tmpDirectory. (Thanks for the tip,Fiasco labs!)

In case someone gets here from Google, I'll reiterate the steps...
