Hi Donny,

Are there any additional details accompanying this error in the engine 
log?  It sounds like a bug, just not yet sure where to look.

As for a possible hack/workaround (maybe someone else will have a 
safer/easier idea here!), the OVFs holding the domain ids in question are 
in a tarball on the imported storage.  If the import failure is happening 
because the storageId in the OVFs is wrong, it should be possible to 
update them to the correct value and retry the import.

Note that by default the tarball is on the storage in 2 places--I'd change 
them both, but of course don't forget to make a backup first.

HTH,
Greg
