Ahh I was close then :)

On your one machine with the remaining filters, if you go into your
Thunderbird profile on the filesystem, in ImapMail, then your account
you'll see a file called msgFilterRules.dat. Copy that to the same
directory on each other machine while Thunderbird isn't running, then
it, it will pick up the filters in that file. No need to manually
recreate your filters. Winner :)
