For anyone that cares.
I removed the read attribute from the file by going to the command line (Run
-> cmd [RETURN] now in the command window (DOS prompt) enter: attrib -r
filename.pst and press [RETURN]. Type exit to close the window.
I was then able to import the PST file and all is good.

Well, if it's really serious, you shouldn't be using beta software to access
it. You should never run beta software on a critical system.

You might also post this over to the beta forum for Office 2010, where lots
of the beta users are hanging out.

Well thats what I told you to do.
You should also know, as a seasoned user that Import/Export is rarely the
way to handle native outlook data
