I have a number of bookmarked video files that I want to move to another hard drive. Problem is that they will lose their bookmarks when their file path changes.
Anybody know a fix for this problem?

I don't think there is any way to do it. The framegrab that is taken when you set a bookmark is stored in the userdata thumbnail folder under Video/Bookmarks but no way to reset the links in the database after moving the video files (that I have found). I wrote a little python script that extracts the bookmarks from the data base to a txt file, but I use that to create Mastroka chapters rather than try to re-import them (and Kodi has an option to take a framegrab at the chapter points). Of course that's only useful if the bookmarks have lasting use. If it's just to resume watching, then Kodi export/import will save the resume bookmark (1 per file obviously).
