Unfortunately, no. I ran cvsup on my FreeBSD 4.9 stable box, then did a 
portupgrade of perl to perl 5.8.4 and all the depedencies..then used the 
rt test script and all dependencies checked out fine..

then reran dumpfile-to-rt-3.0 and still the same behavior:
all users, queues, etc, are properly imported BUT the tickets are not..

i guess not many people have this problem, from the looks of the list 
because this isn't the kind of problem that would not be worked on if it 
were widespread on an open source project,
so my only assumption is that i have to look at the diffs.
the only diff i see is that i am running perl 5.8.4 and 5.8.3 was called 
for...strange
over time, i'll go over the table structural changes from one rt version 
to the next, then start combing the code, but i'm also am hoping that
this is indeed a wider spread problem and that some decent ideas will be 
coming our way.

this is particularly strange because there were no customizations/direct 
sql manipulations of the data at any point, so the tool doesn't work in 
some way.

....just  a few errors are listed here:
