I'm attempting to copy a database from one SQL Server to another, I've made
sure the versions match PERFECTLY.  9.0.3054.  (2005 SP2 with latest patch)

I get the following errors each time I try to IMPORT/EXPORT.  I can't even
find many references to the errors online, and the links in the error
message are dead when you click them.  What can I do to get this database
transferred?  I tried to backup and restore, but it seemed to reference a
drive/path that exists on the backup machine and not on the
restore/destination machine.

- Execute the transfer with the TransferProvider. (Error)
