Plesk to Plesk Migration problem

I am trying to move some clients from and old Plesk 5 server to our new Plesk 7 server, but everytime it starts the dumping process, we end up at the begginng with this error:

Unable to create a description for the migrated objects:
Eror during dump retrieval
Lost connection with the remote host
 
Try doing it manually from the shell one domain at a time:

login to the plesk 7 server via shell and run :
password=your root pass on old server
and change your IP for the old server

PSA_PASSWORD=password /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/launchpad --deploy-agent --local-agent=/usr/local/psa/PMM/PleskX.pl --ip=222.22.22.22 --agent-name=PleskX.pl --login=root --agent-dir=/home/temp

PSA_PASSWORD=password /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/launchpad --dump-domains=domain.com --agent-status-file=/home/temp/PleskX.status --ip=222.22.22.22 --agent-name=PleskX.pl --login=root --agent-dir=/home/temp --dump-file=/home/temp/PleskX.xml

PSA_PASSWORD=password /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/launchpad --get-content --ip=222.22.22.22 --agent-name=PleskX.pl --login=root --agent-dir=/home/temp

PSA_PASSWORD=password /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/launchpad --remove-agent --ip=222.22.22.22 --agent-name=PleskX.pl --login=root --agent-dir=/home/temp

If all of the aboves goes ok, then login to migration manager on the new machine and select Import mode instead of Migration

hope this helps

Well it worked with one big problem. Didn't move other any of the settings like email and non of the files.
