Yes, you're missing something: the problem arises when you don't have office 2001 installed on the machine onto which you've just installed officeX. (That is, you've copied in the Microsoft User Data folder, but haven't installed the application that wrote that data.) The import script demands to "see" the relevant older application. The solution presented in the hint works because the script is happy to recognise Entourage 2001 on the CD as being equivalent to having Entourage 2001 on the HD.

Cheers,
Paul
