If I wasn't clear: If I delete all references to hard drives in the XML file, and then manually attach the hard drive image, will the snapshots work?

No, the snapshots will not work, because they aren't registered to the VM. Check the way the snapshots are added to the VM and global VB .xml file and restore them so it looks the same. That should work, but not guaranteed.
