I figured out what I was doing wrong. Instead of just copying the directories from the old wp-content to the new wp-content, I had removed the new wp-content first. Which removed all .svn directories which I have a feeling was the cause of the error.Oh well. we live and learn. Thanks for your response... Thanks. I figured out what I was doing wrong.
