The bad news is that unfortunately, this OVA-import functionality is indeed
broken on 4.2.0.2.
The good news is that not only that the fix for this, along with other
OVA-related improvements, is already available on the master branch where
4.2.1 will be generated from but also that there is a workaround for
importing an OVA **that was generated by oVirt** which may even be more
efficient:
The alternative way requires using the SDK.
An example that demonstrates how to do this can be found at [1] - you just
need to replace the path to the ova (#43), the name of the target cluster
(#45), the connection details (#51-#57) and the name of the target storage
domain (#115).

So you'll need to install the SDK on one of the hosts that are part of the
source data center and then:
1. Export the VM as OVA through the webadmin/rest-api to a specific path on
that host.
2. Execute the example-script that takes the OVA from that path and uploads
it to the target data center.

Note that the SDK example-script uses the upload-disk operation.
This requires several configuration settings - I highly suggest to execute
the example of upload-disk [2] and only once that works for you to upload
the OVA(s).
