[Setup] Problem migrating from Plone 2.05 to 3.1.7 (resent)

An error on global_defines does *not* indicate corruption in your
ZODB. In fact, it indicates that you're able to read the ZODB -- or
you'd get a very different error.

The migration of data in the object database is done via
portal_migrations in the ZMI. The procedure is documented at:

http://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/view?searchterm=migration

Migrating from 2.05 all the way to 3.x is going to be real work. Be
patient and ask the community for advice. The plone.org/documentation
help center and plone-users list are probably your best community
resources.
