>From what I remember, the recommended catalog backup was the hot backup when it first appeared (in 6.0?). I have had to use it a couple of times with success every time.
Even if it could be dumped to disk and transferred/mapped to the new system, it would be worth a try.

Do you still have the old master running? Have you tried using a hot catalog backup (cold backups are deprecated anyhow)? Justin.
