Different OSs use different binary layouts for their BDBs, so that is not

Hmmm, this suggests that you don't move between equivalent OSs(like w2k server
and w2k pro) but between MS Windows and some Unix-like system. This can't
work with BDB( but it could possibly work with the FSFS backend), unless you
dump/reload the repository as already suggested.
