How can i fix URL rewrite problem with Local copy of Magento store?

I have installed a new copy of Magento on my mac with MAMP – it’s all working fine, I then copied my template files and modules that i created. All good. then we I go to import the live websites SQL database all the products appear and all the custom elements – however if i then click on a product that is on the home page (Or any other page for that matter) the URL’s are wrong.

I have changed the base URL in the database to reflect my local install.

For reference my local copy is set up as so: http://localhost:8888/magento which works fine. now when i click on a product (from the home page) it tries to go to http://localhost:8888/product-name-here – so it misses off the /magento/ part.

But even if i make manually type in http://localhost:8888/magento/product-name-here i get a 404 not found error (and not a magento 404 error?)

Any ideas how to fix this?
