Vista - ExMerge and PowerShell with Exchange Management Shell cmdlets

I am moving mail from an exch 2003 organization in forest A to an exch 2007
organization in forest B. In Forest A I am using ExMerge to export to a PST
file successfully since it is an exch 2003 organization. I am bringing this
PST file over to forest B and attempting following PowerShell EMS command to
import the PST. The error returned is also in the following transcript:

Any ideas? Does this imply PST files generated by ExMerge are not compatible
with the EMS? And vice versa?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it is an issue of PST compatibility, but it would be some
other problem. I did a quick search on the error and couldn't find
anything.

I'd suggest also asking this in a Exchange 2007 forum.

Thanks Marco. I have posted on the Exchange All Versions->Exchange
Development forum since there wasn't a specific 2007 forum here. There is a
specific 2003 forum, but not 2007. So, if you would please point the correct
forum, I will post there as well. Any way, here is an update: Perhaps this
could be the cause?
When I attempted to install the exchange 2007 Tools (only tools that bring
in the EMS cmdlets under custom install option, not the entire exch 2007
server SP1) on an XP box with outlook and PowerShell in the forest with the
exchange 2003 organization, it complained that the active directory domain is
in mixed mode and that to install the EMS 32 bit tools the domain functional
level must be raised to Windows 2000 native mode or above. Could this be the
reason the PST file successfully exported from this 2003 org is somehow
incompatible with the exch 2007 import-mailbox cmdlet? I know you said it has
nothing to do with PST file compatibility....... Thanks again.
