I've never done this on two machine, but I don't see why that would present
a problem. I did not use import, but just dragged into the open window of
Entourage to the folder where I wanted the MBOX file.
For example, the Sent folder became a sub folder of Sent. Then I moved from
the subfolder into main folder and deleted the sub.
Are you dragging to the MUD folder identity, or into the folder window of
Entourage?

Hopefully, it's just a procedure thing that's keeping it from working for
you. I guess you could use Redirect to mail them, but depending on size
could be a formidable task.
I use this method all the time to archive my mail. I drag to the desktop,
change identity then drag back in. This way I have all my old mail handy,
but a sleek identity to work with on a daily basis.
Hmmm, this gives me another idea. Put a copy of the identity you want in the
new MUD folder. Make sure you don't end up with two "Main" identities. Then
you should be able to switch identities and use the drag MBOX method from
one machine.
