well... I suppose you are in maya?
first of all, you have to export the weigthMaps of your character via Skin->Export Weight Maps. Then load your other scene and import the weights back onto your other model. Skin->Import Weight Maps. This should work... when the character have a very similar topology (don't know if you're talking about the same charGeometry).
Anyway there are some other tools donwloadable on highend3d.com which are more accurate for this task. try the weight Tools... do a search for them...
cheers, tom.
