Before you go through the pain of intensive Bayes learning with all that transfering around (and work needed to keep full headers and such), you may want to just let Bayes auto-learn work. Widen the auto-learn limits to, say, -0.5 for ham and +15 for spam. That should be enough to catch the worst of your spam, and maybe some ham (2.55 generated a fair amount of ham at -0.5 and below, 2.60 tends to not generate negative scores other than Bayes, which is ignored for this purpose). You'll probably want to manually feed some of your personal ham so Bayes has enough ham and spam to work with. Once Bayes has begun to work, you can slowly decrease the auto-learn limits back to defaults (well, I have a problem allowing Bayes to learn as ham anything with a 0 or positive score, but YMMV), and Bayes will be mostly self-maintaining. It won't work as well as on systems where every email is fed to Bayes, but it'll work well.
