It seems I was nearly right about the critical files, as indicated in 
the script here (a script for a situation more complex than mine, 
involving backing up with ssh):

http://www.rolfs.no/2008/03/26/sync-lifereash-syncing-script/#more-99

where the essential files are indicated in these lines

# Using rsync to preserve when file was last changed..
rsync -vaz -e "ssh" $REMOTE:$REMOTEDIR/feedlist.opml $BACKUPDIR/remote/
rsync -vaz -e "ssh" $REMOTE:$REMOTEDIR/liferea.db-journal $BACKUPDIR/remote/
rsync -vaz -e "ssh" $REMOTE:$REMOTEDIR/liferea.db $BACKUPDIR/remote/
rsync -vaz -e "ssh" $REMOTE:$REMOTEDIR/feedlist.opml.backup 
$BACKUPDIR/remote/

and much of the rest of the script seems to be about ensuring that these 
are the finalised and only files transferred and used (by making sure no 
copies of Liferea are running).

The time stamps matter (of course - these are 'live' feeds);  and that 
may be the problems with transferring the files via FAT32 - does the 
time stamp info disappear altogether, and cause a problem for the 
'receiving' copy of Liferea?

Completely out of my depth, now!
