Lost bitcoins - Multibit

Question

I have tried to pay an invoice via BitPay, the transaction was stuck at 'seen by one peer' and the BitPay invoice expired.

After closing and reopening multibit a few times, I decided to reset blockchain info as suggested in the multibit faq.

Well, this is what happened:

The transaction to BitPay doesn't even show anymore, but my coins are gone, how do I get them back ?

Before you do anything else, check whether you made the payment or not. Use blockexplorer or a similar authoritative tool. — David Schwartz, Commented Dec 10, 2013 at 4:16
@DavidSchwartz there is no information about the transaction to BitPay on Blockexplorer / Blockchain.info, but my coins are still not showing — Dieter, Commented Dec 10, 2013 at 13:02

Exporting the private key, then importing it into a new wallet (still in MultiBit) recovered the missing bitcoins for me.

Per some recommendations I found elsewhere, I will try exporting my private key and using it in another client later today. Will report back if this works.
