Though I have to ask, why are you copying the new files and overwrite the old files? Every update works by itself, those aren't patches that you put over your old files.
Not sure how it works with Ren'Py on other OS, but Windows saves save files locally with the other game files and separately in another folder in the user directory (.../appdata/roaming/renpy/...).
If anything, you could make sure and transfer the saves to be in the same directory as the game, but you don't have to do anything else to be able to play the new update other than have it.
eeyup, putting it over the other files can lead to errors, for example if an older version had some rpy files that the newer does not have, and now it loads this old files that are still in the directory. so its really better to use a separate directory for that. save files should be in the user directory, at least for me they share the save files. no need to copy.
I actually was able to figure that out yesterday when I started checking that /renpy/ folder, so I was able to get it fixed.
