Carl, This final build that Jim posted is compatible with files opened in Legacy v6.
There should be no problem importing a Gedcom into any version of Legacy. The error message you received sounds like one you'd get when trying to either restore a backup or open a Family File in a build earlier than the 10 Aug 2005 build of Legacy v5.

It had problems, so we went back to Legacy 5. However, Legacy 6 updated the database in the brief time we tried it out, so Legacy 5 would not open it. We could not find a Legacy 5 copy of the database, so I took the Legacy 6 database and made a GEDCOM to put in Legacy 5. However, we got an error message that we had to have a later Legacy to open the file. Oh Oh! I thought that the computer must be thinking the GEDCOM was a database, so I went through the same process in different ways several times, but always with the same result. Legacy showed a database just a little larger than the GEDCOM with each name we had given it, but of course we could not see what was in there. Is Legacy keying on the SOURCE statement in the GEDCOM which says Legacy 6? Shouldn't the program ignore that and accept any GEDCOM? I have done this same thing in the past with versions of Legacy, and had no problem.
