Wrong syntax for option's '-passwd' parameter

[WebDork]

Trying to migrate some domains from Plesk 8.10 to another Plesk 8.10 box.

Anyone come across following errors or have recommendations ?

Data migration from host 58.65.233.177 has been completed.

Quick fix

The fix that worked for me for the "Wrong syntax for option's '-passwd' parameter" is to update or add a password to the offending email account. In my case, the account was for a mail group and had no mailbox, but adding a password to the account made the error disappear.
