Here's a kind of a brute force way to do the change of variables:

cov = Solve[
  D[U[x, y], ##] == D[u[r, z], ##, NonConstants -> {r, z}]& @@@
   {{}, {x}, {y}, {x, x}, {x, y}, {y, y}},
  D[u[r, z], ##] & @@@ {{}, {r}, {z}, {r, r}, {r, z}, {z, z}}];

Derivative[0, 2][u][r, z] + Derivative[1, 0][u][r, z]/r +
     Derivative[2, 0][u][r, z] /.
    cov[[1]] /. {r -> Cos[x] Sinh[y], z -> Sin[x] Cosh[y]} /.
  (NonConstants -> _) -> Sequence[] // Simplify

Out[2]= 2 (Coth[y] Derivative[0, 1][U][x, y] + Derivative[0, 2][U][x,
y] - Tan[x] Derivative[1, 0][U][x, y] + Derivative[2, 0][U][x, y])/
(Cos[2 x] + Cosh[2 y])

It differs from your transformed equation in the coefficient before Uy
(Coth instead of Tanh). You might have mixed up Sinh and Cosh in your
replacement rules for r and z.
