Thanks, lj. I ended up just installing the new system on the internal  
hard drive, then copying the user folders back into the main User  
folder. When I created the accounts in System Preferences, I simply  
used the same short name as the folders, and the OS was smart enough  
to realize that I had a user folder with the same name and asked if I  
wanted to associate it with the account. That was my biggest concern.  
I'm not sure how to do it with my main account though (the original  
one I logged in with). I'll have to do some more testing.

Thanks for the script, though. I think it'll be useful to add to my  
bag of tools.
