Your shelf is already saved .
To add it to the new version just go the the shelves and pick the option to load a shelf, this will then load and save it in your new version of Maya.
Sorry about being vague, but I am not in front of a copy of Maya and I am no sad enough (yet) to remember the menu commands :p
