sharepoint {0} cannot be imported because its parent {1} does not exist

I was using the SPImport and SPExport classes.  Kept getting issues.

Tried security...
then set site lock, I had set it on hoping for a performance increase, 100GB web with 5 libraries!!!!

Re-exported ...
set off site lock  Stdadm –o setsitelock –url http://yoursite –lock none

Still no luck, opened export file with winrar, edited manifest.  Looking for clues.

The folder that would hold URL '/sites/1/CZ/1-40GBWE' does not exist on the server.

and then ReParent in the SPImport.


        static void spImport_Started(object sender, SPDeploymentEventArgs e)
        {
            SPImportObjectCollection rootObjects = e.RootObjects;

            foreach (SPImportObject io in rootObjects)
            {
                io.TargetParentUrl = @"http://cz.kzdev.af.didata.local/sites/1/";
            }
        }

Now its fine
