The RRD files cannot be simply copied over. The MRTG RRD has data of a certain format, and the perfdata RRD is created using a different format, but pulls data from the MRTG RRD. I am afraid that the data from the perfdata was lost, unless you had made a backup prior from which you can restore. All that can be done now is to let it regenerate from this point forward.
