Are you trying to merge via the standalone importer? It looks like the install is being interrupted and it's trying to write the same node ID twice. Are the nodes named the same? You might need to rename one.

Also doubly make sure you're using the most up to date importer.

1. Going through this once again.
2. importing two xenforo 2.2 forums into one.
3. initial install is done.
4. backed up all files from both forums, uploaded to the new vm, into the /home/xxxx/ntbackup/xxx/data and /home/xxxx/ntbackup/xxx/internal_data
5. permissions on all files changed to 777
6. using the XFI importer for the data and Internal_data Directories has me blocked.
7. the paths to both are /home/xxxxxx/ntbackup/xxx/data and /home/xxxx/ntbackup/xxx/internal_data
8. this is the error I get.

• The directory '/home/xxx/ntbackup/xxx/data' could not be found or is not readable.
• The directory '/home/xxxxx/ntbackup/xxx/internal_data' could not be found or is not readable.
• both of the above should be readily fixable.. but its fighting me tooth and nail. sigh..
