OK lets take the very first chords you listed
D, A, Bm, G and F#m
D five frets up would be G open G is
X20120
A five frets up would be D open D is
000000
Bm five frets up would be Em open Em is a bit tricky try this in it's place
222300
G five frets up would be C open C is also tricky because there are no open strings so my best offer is
X3213X
you can mute the first string with your first finger and the sixth string with your thumb.
F#m five frets up would be Bm open Bm is
X2OO2X
mute strings as for C. Finding some chords is one of the problems you get with open tunings. If you had the capo on the 7th fret your original chords become
A, E, F#m, D, C#m
C#m
242242
Some nice opportunities for transposing exercises here.
Incidentally the sadly no longer with us John Martyn gave us this wonderful sequence in his song John the Baptist.
000000
222100
444300
555500
777700
and yes you do always play the open strings.
Good luck.
