Unfortunately this doesn't actually shift all the tasks forward... it complains that there are tasks prior to the start date and leaves everything where it is.
Any thoughts on how to shift all the tasks forward a year without doing them one-by-one?

Well, if you have tasks that don't have any dependencies, those will need to be manually moved to the start date.

P98:
Tools | Macro | Macros... and run the macro "Adjust_Dates".
It goes without saying (but I will say it anyway): Back up the plan before "playing" with it.
I've never used the macro so I don't know what happens when (1) Actuals have already been recorded against the original schedule; (2) moving tasks schedules them when resources have scheduled vacations; or (3) moving tasks schedules them when various dates (such as Statutory Holidays) have been scheduled.
