Hi,
they're probably failing for the same reason they failed while
importing the xmp files directly: in general the history stack data is
not backwards compatible. It may be in some cases, but in the
particular case of 3.9 and 3.8 it is most certainly not. The good news
is the data should still be there, the bad news is that you'll need at
least the version you used to save them to read them again.
Fortunately there are some dev versions for windows floating around,
check here:

Best regards,

I have worked with DT 3.9.0 on Ubuntu.
Now I had to change to Windows 10 and installed DT 3.8.1 there.
When I imported the pictures I have edited lately, all xmp files
written
bei DT 3.9.0 were lost and set back to standard.
Therefore I tried to load the xmp files from the exported jpgs as
described here below by Remco. However this did not work for some
reason. When loading the respective jpg I get an error message.
