Vista - 5384: Easy Transfer not transfering easy...

I set things up to do an Easy Transfer from 5308 to 5384 through a hard
drive. The files/settings under 5308 saved in the specified directory
(F:\from_old_computer\)

When I bring up Easy Transfer on 5384 and select F:\from_old_computer\ as
the source, I keep getting prompted with the message "Please select a valid
folder where the files can be restored from"

What's the best way to proceed?

I keep getting a Firewall error, and another error about not being able to
connect over the network.

Does anybody know if Easy Transfer actually works?

Zack -

When I bring up Easy Transfer on 5384 and select F:\from_old_computer\ as
the source, I keep getting prompted with the message "Please select a valid
folder where the files can be restored from"

Any ideas on how to debug?
