True. I think the main issue isn't so much what or where the files are, it's more that you need to figure an automated way to convert them into lahman format so that OOTP can import it.

If I'm following the idea correctly, what would probably work is to make a Lahman-style db that mirrors the "real" Lahman (with teams.csv and so forth - not just batting.csv, fielding.csv and pitching.csv) because 2007 can import the league's history on creation - so if you got the Catobase stuff from your 6.5 league into a Lahman format, the sim could pull it in as if it were "real" MLB history.
