Frustrated with Content Deployment Job Import(Revised)

For the past week I have attempted to create a staging server for my client's Sharepoint Site.  The problem is that it will import 9100-9700 objects and then it will fail and issue me these errors:

Content deployment job 'Remote import job for job with sourceID =
378a003b-941d-46dc-979b-e7e276e60c77' failed.The exception thrown was
'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' : 'Access denied.'

I have been all over the web and found nothing for this specific issue.  I have tried playing with the features and turning off publishing at the Main Sharepoint Site.  I have tried granting access to the Wamrag and the host file folder for that server.  I have tried so many different things that I don't even remember.  My head is spinning.  I got so frustrated that I tried sending Andrew Connell a message to see if he could shed some light on the issue.  I'm not even sure I will get a response, but he seems to know a lot about content management.  I think I'm at the point where I need to walk away from the problem for a while.  This should be a time when I am starting to wind down and kick back.  I am on vacation next week in Los Angeles and the last Harry Potter book comes out of this weekend.  I even got to level 66 in World of Warcraft and I can now visit the instance I've wanted to see since Burning Crusade came out.  In short life is good why stress out about a little Sharepoint issue.  The answer will come.

 

*UPDATE*

I got it to work by excluding this testing like that has every single template Sharepoint can offer including the Fantastic 40.  I am assuming there is something in there that angered the import job.  I didn't need to copy that directory, so it is not a big deal.  I am hoping that this helps someone else who is receiving the same error.  Just remember it could be an object in a site that deals with the Fantastic 40.  You may need to upload some type of feature or list.

Anyway all is pretty much well aside from this publishing problem.  If I try and activate publishing on existing sites for quick deploy to work it doesn't do anything, even with the feature turned on in both the site collection and site.  I am not sure why it will not work on the team sites or the workspace sites.  I assumed that you activate the feature on the sites and publishing was activated.  I am going to look into changing the default.masters in those sites.  If anyone else has a better idea I am all ears.
