The error message is trying to tell you that the two versions are at
different version levels. This can include service packs and hotfixes.
Typically, the version is something like 6.0.2.6361. I've never seen it
expressed like you had: '1178817357.0.26156915.0'.

It sounds like the -overwrite deleted the site on the server and then the
restore failed leaving you in this state.

Compare the updates installed for Sharepoint on both servers to make them
the same. You might also make a backup of the site before attempting the
restore over it.

Both are fully patched as far as Windows Update is concerned

From Companyweb -> site actions -> site settings, both are 12.0.0.6421

Where do you see 6.0.2.6361?

I have more info about one of the "funnies" with "announcement" not
working correctly.

In Site Settings -> Site Libraries and Lists, I have duplicate entries
for Announcements; Calendar; Tasks; & Team Discussion.

I deleted one duplicate (Calendar) and it removed both entries from
Site Libraries and Lists, and is now missing from the Companyweb home
page.

I'm thinking that an import of Companyweb needs some preparation of
the existing Companyweb. It appears that not everything gets "merged"
using stsadm -o restore

I shall revisit this on Saturday

I don't really see version 6.0.2.6361 anywhere. It was a bad example for
this case.

I had some good progress yesterday (although not perfect). I have
been unable to find differences between the old server and new
server. I have therefore concentrated on the issue with the
announcements as I think I have some confidence in finding a fix.

This refers to the "funnies" regarding duplicate entries found in Site
Settings -> Site Libraries and Lists.

I deleted the remaining duplicate entries and I repeated the stsadm -o
import command. This then left me with single entries in the Site
Libraries and Lists where I had duplicates before. Announcements now
correctly open to display contents. The disappointment is that they
do not have the original creation date. All have today's date. I
think I was mistaken in saying some where missing. My earlier comment
comes from the wrong order they are now displayed in.

I used the announcements as a kind of personal blog for fixing things.

Is there a trick to this?

I found another problem. I am becoming very unimpressed with
Sharepoint.

I have a single page with over 100 items, which on the old Sharepoint
showed a link at the top and bottom to see the next 100 items. On the
new server, the link is missing so I can't view the next 100 items.
If I switch to Explorer view, I can see the missing items. Sharepoint
doesn't seem to correctly rebuild views after an import.

The only way I can see to resolve this problem is to reimport the
missing items manually - even though they are already stored on the
server. The missing items are found using the search function.

This is becoming increasingly annoying.
