I recommend that you install the same version (1.1.2) on the new server [e-mail me if you need a 1.1.2 download file again], then move your files over - the dump functionality from MySQLMan will get all the necessary database information, but you also need to make sure to copy over everything in the admin/templates directory, and the admin/attachments directory (FileMan's "tar" functionality can do this for you). Once everything is copied over to the new server's 1.1.2 installation, make sure that it's working, then upgrade it to 1.2.0 - 1.2.0 will not work with a 1.1.2 database, but the install.cgi program updates the database appropriately for the columns added between your version and 1.1.2, and so has to run off a 1.1.2 installation.

You'll probably also want to check through the Setup menu on the new server to update any GForum settings you may have altered on the old one, and check out the new features added to 1.2.0.
