stsadm -o import error

Question

I am trying to import a sharepoint site and have got the following error.

Error: Unable to update the information in the Microsoft Office document (doc name with relative url)

This is a MOSS 2007 site collection. Exported from one server farm and trying to import to an "identical" but different server farm. The exact cmd I am running is as follows

stsadm -o import -url (http://webaddress) -filename (path to .cmp file) -includeusersecurity -haltonfatalerror -updateversions 2

How do I fix this?

Update (10 June 2010): I tried deleting the doc file from the source site with the intension of exporting without it but it would not let me delete it! Any spark?

Answer 1

I have seen this error if you have files greater than 5 MB in the source site you exported.

If the file sizes don't seem to be an issue, try using the -nofilecompression option on both your export and import to see if that gets around your problem.

Answer 2

Possibly an issue related to blocked file extensions but since you say this is an office document I guess that's pretty unlikely.
