Could you be more specific with the versions of MySQL you are using?

Also, is this from LSQL 2.1.2 to LSQL 2.2.0 ? Is there any reason why you are doing the fresh install on another server, and then trying to transfer the database? It would be a *lot* easier if you run the upgrade on your current site, then transfered it all over, and then copied the database over (i.e a normal transfer).

The problem that arrives with the way you are trying to do it... is that there will be missing fields (i.e Expiry_Date), which version 2.2.0 requires.

Hope that explains the reason behind my madness =)

Cheers
