a) you forget a base-href/prefix definition which points to a.com
b) some links are hardcoded to the old domain (that might be 
HTML-Templates or typoscript-templates or even links in CEs)
c) you also transfered the cache and got cached content


a clean transfer might include only
fileadmin/*
typo3conf/* (adaption of DB-access in localconf.php! and without 
temp_CACHED*-files)
uploads/*

and the database without the cache-tables

typo3_src could be fetched from the usual places (as far as no 
modification has been done to the core)
