Go to Files in your older iTunes and turn off Home Sharing. Do the same for the iTunes on the new computer iTunes. Now, go back to Files in iTunes on both computers and turn on Home Sharing again. If your computer is not authorized for the other library it will ask you if you want it authorized. Say yes. After I did this, the Show menu showed up at the bottom of the window of the songs I had selected for transfer, with an import button next to it. Click it and the songs will transfer over.
