It seems that LVM is expecting same dasd identifiers such as /dev/dasdh1 etc for its PVs.
I and my colleagues have done this operation several times and never experienced what you describe. We have exported from a system with less than ten DASDs and imported to a system with hundreds of DASDs -- so the device nodes were very definitely different... I've even moved a VG from system to system without doing the vgexport (although I do concede that I was VERY lucky with that one). Possibly you didn't do the "vgscan" after attaching the DASD to the new system (and before you do vgimport)? It should come back and tell you that an exported VG was found. You may also have trouble if the VG you are importing has the same name as a VG that previously existed on the system (but I would have thought vgscan would sort that out).
