    I made a redirect to my new domain:

    RewriteEngine on
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    in .htaccess

    Did i do it right? Won't there be any duplicate content issues?

    if you are redirecting to a new domain and both the domains have same content, then you can use this meta tag on the old domain to avoid dup content penalty

    <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX">

    yes. It looks ok.

    By the way, keeping the files is irelevant, as long as the redirect is in place.

    In the Google toolbar it shows n/a PageRank, it is ok? Shouldn't it be the PR from redirected page?

    Google consider WWW and non-WWW version of domains as two independent websites and index them separate, thus creating a duplicate website problem.

    just u have selected a highest pr website both www and non www version
    and then redirect 301.
