Thank you Stuart, Panyarak and Hilton for responding. The use of the "import" command as Stuart suggested seems to have worked.
Later, I may experiment with the other methods suggested , but for now the users seem happy. Stuart - the only message I got when I tried to do the metadata import from the csv file that I had exported as "An unknown error has occurred" Regards Stephen ________________________________ From: Stuart Lewis <[email protected]> To: Btri Consulting <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, February 28, 2011 2:06:09 PM Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Moving data from one instance to another Dspace 1.6.2 Hi Stephen, > I have used the "Export (Migrate) Collection" option in DSpace which has >generated a zip file with the requisite information.

Could you send a message with the complete output the command gives, and we'll see if we can help work out the error.
