I see. In our case, we modified the ingest process to ingest from an arbitrary file location, not a location relative to "contents" in the ingest process. So our bitstream table stores the complete path because that's what shows up in contents. This path won't exist on the new server but Dspace extracts just the file name from bitstream.name, so the problem that Mark points out won't be an issue as long as we keep the value in the field. Thanks Eric
