Mike,
Exmerge doesn't support Unicode PSTs.
So, if you copy the PST and try an exmerge and it doesn't work, you need
to export from Outlook to an ANSI PST.

Alternatively, import it using Outlook.... but that will involve more
time sitting at the user's desktop - I have exmerged after converting
PSTs from UniCode to ANSI no problemos.
rgds,
Nick
