Do you have nfo files next to your media? If yes then it will contain the date added.

No. I chose to not have nfo files but have the metadata in the database.  @Luke, if I had chose the option that creates nfo files in each media folder (i.e. I have each movie in its own folder), then a rescan of a folder will read the nfo files into the library and preserve the "data added"?  Other than that there is no other way to transfer the "date added" data?  I'm interested in case I have to move the library again back from a NAS to a PC Server.

If not saved with media you have to manually update the database and some library files correcting paths for your new platform.
