To all those people who withdrew shibes from bittrex or poloniex to an address generated by their old wallet:

Do not fret - your coins are still accessible - provided you have a backup of your old wallet.dat from the previous shibe wallet.

Follow these steps:

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET INSTALLED THE NEW WALLET:

1 - Before installing the new wallet, open your old wallet, access the console by clicking help -> debug window -> console
2 - type dumpprivkey where shibecoinaddress is the address you used to withdraw your coins to the new blockchain.  It will return a series of characters - copy and paste these into notepad or another text editor of your choice.
3 -  Rename the ShibeCoin folder in your C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\Roaming to shibecoin_old (may be case sensitive, so just add '_old' to the end)
4 - Run the new wallet and let it sync
5 - go to console and type validateaddress

where address is the address from your old wallet - same as step 2.  Should return:  isvalid:true ismine:false - as long as isvalid:true - you are golden
6 - In console, type:  'importprivkey [label]' - this is the string you copied in step 2 - label is optional
7 -  Repeat step 5 - should now show "isvalid:true ismine:true"
8 - wait and you should see the transaction appear - if not, try closing client and running with -rescan

IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE NEW WALLET AND HAVE A BACKUP OF THE OLD

1 - Close all running shibe clients
2 - Go to C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\Roaming and rename the shibecoin folder to shibecoin_new
3 - Run the old wallet - wait for it to open, then close it
4 - Go to C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\Roaming\shibecoin and replace wallet.dat with the old wallet.dat file from your old wallet - reopen the OLD wallet
5 - type dumpprivkey where shibecoinaddress is the address you used to withdraw your coins to the new blockchain.  It will return a series of characters - copy and paste these into notepad or another text editor of your choice.
6 - Go to C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\Roaming and rename the shibecoin folder to shibecoin_old.
7 - C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\Roaming and rename the ShibeCoin_new to Shibecoin (may be case sensitive, so just remove the _new)
8 - Run the new client, and let it sync.
9 - Go to console and type validateaddress

where address is the address from your old wallet - same as step 5.  Should return:  isvalid:true ismine:false - as long as isvalid:true - you are golden
10 - In console, type:  'importprivkey [label]' - this is the string you copied in step 5 - label is optional
11 - Repeat step 9 - should now show "isvalid:true ismine:true"
12 - Wait and you should see the transaction appear - if not, try closing client and running with -rescan

I made this mistake and was able to retrieve my coins using the steps above.  I hope this helps those in a similar circumstance who may have made the same mistake.

Cheers,
