[mso] Problem exporting /importing .pst in Outlook 2003

I'm trying to export my .pst from my desktop and then import it into my
laptop to ensure I have my recent mail when I travel with the laptop.
Don't know what I could be doing wrong or what might be set up
improperly to cause this, but here's what's happening.
Using Outlook's Import/.Export Wizard, I seem to successfully generate a
backup.pst from Outlook on the desktop. However, when I use the wizard
on the laptop to import that backup.pst I get a message saying" The
source and destination folders for this operation cannot be the same."
The backup.pst from the desktop was saved in C:\temp and when the Import
Wizard on the laptop asks for a location of the file to be imported, I
navigate through our network to C:\temp on the desktop.
I've done this successfully in the past with other versions of Outlook
so I thought the process being used was correct. Any ideas on where I
should be looking to see what the issue is now? My desktop is Windows
2000, and the laptop is Windows XP, both using Outlook 2003.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Diane
