So is the only option to export every receive address, create a new wallet and import them back in (something that will take a long time as I understand it will do a rescan on each key import) 
I imported a massive amount (~100K) of addresses that way.To import them fast I did the following :
- Removed blockchain files
- Launched the client with -maxconnections=0
- Made sure it wasn't connecting to anyone so the block count remains zero
- Imported all the addresses almost instantly since there was nothing to rescan
- Relaunched the client and let it download the whole chain so it would scan everything properly
Instead of re-downloading the chain you can probably simply restore the blockchain files and force a rescan after all the addresses have been imported.
Don't forget to issue a transaction that transfers the complete balance to the new wallet, otherwise you wont have all the balances that are stored on change addresses.
So is there anyway to change the account for a specific tx?
Am guessing by the lack of response there is no direct way.

I used the "sendfrom" expecting it (incorrectly now I know) to use the BTC from the receive address I had previously issued a "setaccount" for (instead it picked some other address not visible in the GUI).
What I am now wanting to do is to stop "listtransactions" from showing that particular "send" as belonging to that account (well more basically what I am wanting is for "getbalance" to match the balance that I see in blockchain.info/blockexplorer.com for the address I did the "setaccount" on in the first place).
