It's not specific to IPSO. When we brought this to Check Point's
attention, we had also encountered it on Windows. We also experienced
some issues with the SPLAT import as well.

As a workaround whilst Check Point were working on the new binaries, we
used the backed up export utilities that are located in the backup
directory that the HFA makes for backout purposes. Those worked without
a problem.

>From what we've seen, the new binaries are perfect.

I agree with cisco4ng though, Check Point should make these publicly
available as soon as possible, as it really makes tech support
impossible if CP asks for a SmartCenter export. We had another issue
with HFA-02 where the "vpn tu" command screws up resetting of individual
tunnels if you try to reset a dynamic edge vpn tunnel with the format
0.0.0.x. It actually results in all tunnels being reset. We have also
brought this to Check Point's attention and they are working on a
resolution.

In general though, I agree that that Check Point did not QA HFA-02
correctly.

Another frustrating issue is that there is STILL no HFA for R62!

Cheers

Matt

You are required to close all Check Point clients before the Export 
operation begins.
If the export fails, stop Check Point services and run the 
upgrade_export command again.
Press ENTER when ready..

  Checking the existence of necessary files...
  Copying files to temp dir...
  Building configuration file...
  Compressing the files...

The export operation finished successfully.

# ls -lh 22112007.tgz

# fw ver -k
This is Check Point VPN-1(TM) & FireWall-1(R) NGX (R65) HFA_02, Hotfix 
602 - Build 006
kernel: NGX (R65) HFA_02, Hotfix 602 - Build 006


I guess is something specific to IPSO, as the above output is taken from

a "CentOS release 3.9 (Final)" which is not even supported by CP and it 
works qithout a quirk.

Have you tried using the latest IPSO, which one week ago was:
IPSO 4.2 build 069.


regarding cpinfo:

# cpinfo -o output_file

cpinfo (I:0110):        Beginning ...

cpinfo (I:0116):        Latest cpinfo build: 
http://www.checkpoint.com/techsupport/downloadsng/utilities.html#cpinfo
cpinfo (I:0112):        Embedding files ...

cpinfo (I:0120):        Output file  - output_file
cpinfo (I:0111):        Done
# ls -lh output_file
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          44M Nov 22 02:04 output_file
