2 keychains w/ same name

Unintentionally I've ended up with 2 keychains called "Login". One is mostly passwords, the other secure notes.


In trying to troubleshoot Photoshop buggery I'm doing a clean install on a partition, but I'm having trouble to bring both keychains over to the new system. I get the one with the passwords but not the one with secure notes.


Inside the original user library I have a folder called Keychains, with a single file inside called "login.keychain". I bring the entire folder over to the same location in the new system, but when I open Keychain Access in the new system all I get is one keychain, the one witht the passwords.


How do I bring over both keychains of the same name when all I see is one file?


FWIW, as a test I just added a secure note to the keychain I can't transfer over and it did not update the time stamp of the file I see in the library. Is it possible it's stored elsewhere (IOW, not in ~/Library/Keychain ?)

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
