If I do the system transfer along with copying the data to another SD card (you know, the XL comes with a 4GB one), will I keep my saved files? I have many hours put in my digital copy of A New Beginning...

No need to copy anything. Just do the system transfer and swap the old one in. If your moving from a smaller card though, then yeah if you use a PC to wholesale copy the files over to the new card, you'll have your data.

I had to rename some folder or something when I transfered mine. I forget which folder but it was just some string of random characters.

Hopefully these guys are right. When I transferred all my DSi games (from a DSi) to my 3DS I lost all my saves :/.

A system transfer copies everything: your Friend Code, Friends list, user profile, settings and preferences, Miis, internet settings, eShop data, your games, save files, StreetPass and SpotPass data, your complete Activity Log, everything.
