If you restart an existing DA game by using the NEW GAME prompt from the screen, you will lose all of the transfer bonuses from the older version. The reason for this is the presence of the second save game file on your hard drive. When the Dark Arisen version runs its initial check, it doesn't award transfer bonuses, because it rightfully believes you've already received them.

In order to receive the transfer bonuses a second time, you must delete the Dark Arisen save file from your hard drive (incidentally, leaving the vanilla save file intact). Then you have to go back to your old vanilla game, launch the vanilla game version and re-start your game from the beginning (you only have to get to the point where Grigori tells you to pick a weapon in Chief Adaro's house). Save and close the game down. Then, when opening the Dark Arisen version of the game for the first time you will receive your transfer bonuses including the Eternal Ferrystone immediately; they'll be waiting in the inn's storage.

Before doing any of that, I'd copy my two existing save files off to a USB stick for permanent storage, just in case I ever wanted to revert to either of my old existing game files to play my first Arisen and pawn.
