[Setup] Upgrading Plone site issues

I am in the process of trying to upgrade an existing Plone site running on
Plone 1.0.5 ( on (Zope 2.6.2 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python
2.1.3, win32)) to Plone 2.1.1 ( (Zope 2.8.4-final, python 2.3.5, win32)) and
have run into some difficulties.

It seems that the recommended Zope version for 2.1.1 is Zope 2.8.2. From
what I can tell though 2.8.4 is supposed to work and be a suitable base?

The first problem I run into is just in adding a test Plone site to the Zope
with no changes. When attempting to edit the home page of this I get the
following error:

Site error

This site encountered an error trying to fulfill your request. The errors
were:
 Error Type AttributeError Error Value referencebrowser_startupDirectory

Does anybody have any idea what the root cause is? I am not sure if this is
related to my subsequent woes or not.

What I am attempting to do for my upgrade is to export the existing Plone
site from the Zope 2.6.2 server and import it into the new Zope
2.8.2server. An attempt to import the site results in the following
error:

 Site Error

An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

Most of the existing strategies/hits for importing old Plone sites talk
about using an existing data.fs (which I can't do -- I have different
servers with different content outside the plone site) or just cutting and
pasting content (which I can't do either).

Any ideas where to go next?
