One way to be extra sure would be to send all your coins to a new address and wait for the transaction to be confirmed.  That will prove that all your private keys were readable and valid.

Agree with Nate, but beware that this would make any back-ups you took prior to the copy obsolete. Back up your new wallet soon after the coins are confirmed.
