SEO after transfering domain

Question for you guys.

I recently transfered my website from
Shamanic Seduction - Develop Animal Magnetism from Spiritual Freedom to Emotional Intimacy
to
Shamanic Attraction - Improve your authentic sexual attractiveness with women

The blog was starting to get ranked quite well in search engines. I have set-up a 301 redirect since the entire blog moved to the new domain. This new domain is about 1.5 months old.

I just checked my page rank through
Check Page Rank!

They write this on their page
"Google Pagerank fraud is becoming a serious problem. It is achieved when offending websites use a 301 or 302 redirects that point their sites to sites with a high Pagerank."

When I run the tool on www.shamanicattraction.com, it says "Page Rank appears to be forged!". It's true that I transfered my SEO ranking from one domain to another, but is this something I should worry about?

The new domain is slowly starting to get ranked again in Google, but mostly the pages outside the blog. Very few blog articles appear in search results.

Is it just a matter of time before the search referencing picks up again? How much time can it take?

    I wouldn't worry if some tool says it's forged, it's just picking up on the 301 and the 301 is the right way to do it. Quick question though, when you 301'd the entire domain did you make sure that the post/page URL's for each post were the same? Actually I've just had a look and it seems blog posts from the original domain go to the homepage of the new domain. Is that right?

    Edit: Nevermind, I've had way too much coffee.

    As i know 301 redirect is the only redirect that search engines like.

    It's not a fraud, it's the recommended way to transfer a domain.

    I underestimated how much SEO weight I would lose in the process though.
