My 30 second read and thoughts: Might be a long shot, but can you verify that they are both patched to the same versions? Lots of serialization code being executed in that callstack, most common issue when deserializing is due to differences in the current code vs that of the sale object you're trying to deserialize.

RE: Import Error
Hi Stefan, Thanks. This would probably explain why I'm having so much difficulty. So if this was straight WSS site with no customisations I would have no problem importing it to the site collection root? Per Ajay's suggestion, if I disable the Publishing feature first would I then be able to import my site successfully and simply enable publishing afterwards?

If you use content deployment wizard it gives you option to exclude dependencies On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 4:06 PM, Paul Noone paul.no...@ceosyd.catholic.edu.aumailto:paul.no...@ceosyd.catholic.edu.au wrote: Hi all, I created a blank site collection (no template) and am trying to import a basic Web as the root site. Am getting the following error. Anyone seen this before, or can shed any light? I'm assuming it's because the import file is a Web and doesn't include expected site collection elements? If anyone's been successful doing this I'd love to hear about it. Kind regards, Paul -- [6/17/2009 11:16:39 AM]: Start Time: 6/17/2009 11:16:39 AM.
