I moved my /var once and had some problems, and here's what I learned:
Do not simply tar/copy/etc. a running /var partition and expect it to start
properly at the next boot. I forget the specifics, but booting into single
user allowed me to move it without these problems, so if you do tarballs, go
single user first.

Just a thought...you might want to see what dd can do in the way of disk
imaging.
