Yes, I should have asked you to check v.db.connect -p on the relevant map...

I don't think so. You will have to write a little script which loops
through all your vector maps (cf g.mlist) and changes the connection info
with v.db.connect. Depending on whether they are all linked to the same
database this will be more or less straighforward.
