That's what I would try. Exporting existing library database on your old installation and reimporting it on your new one
Maybe it works, but there is still a chance to fail due to so many XBMC/Kodi versions between.

Another possibility could be saving XBMC's profile probably /home/xbian/.xbmc and restore it on new system as /home/xbian/.kodi and see what happens. But I would assume that Kodi can't convert database because database is too old.
