When doing an stsadm.exe -import I encountered the following error:
Debug: Security check failed in OnWebImport
Importing Folder /cgs
FatalError: Value does not fall within the expected range
GetWebRelativeUrlFromUrl
I was able to create a blank subsite and then do the import to that new subsite, but it would not create the subsite for me. On my standalone install, this worked without having to precreate the site.
When selecting a specific sub-site from the Content Deployment Job via "select site", you may be unable to see or select some of the subsites. They may also appear in a red or orange font. The dropdown will not appear if they are unselectable.
I was able to solve these issues by granting owner permissions on the unselectable subsites to the user I was logged into central admin as.
Alternatively, you can log into Central Admin as a user who has Site Collection Admin permissions on the Site Collection you are exporting or grant the Central Admin user Site Collection Admin permissions.
Due to NTLM access being blocked by some firewalls and proxy servers you may want to enable Kerberos instead.

Issues I ran into with the MOSS Technical Refresh on Corporate Publishing (aka Internet Presence) sites.
Change the default logo graphic on an internet presence site.
The default image on the Internet presence site is an italicized A or leaning arrow in the color of the selected style sheet. In order to modify the graphic, you can either change the master page template to hide or remove the existing logo area and add your own hard coded image link or you can continue with the style-sheet approach built into the site. The benefits of using the style sheet approach is the ability to define multiple images and link them to different styles. The disadvantage is that the image is included as a background image and will not be printed by default and is more difficult to resize.
To change the image in the Style Sheets:
1. If using the same sized image:
_________________________________________________
Just go to the Site Content And Structure tool within the Sharepoint site. Go to Style Library, then to Images. Upload your new graphic, then overwrite the default graphic for each style (bl_logo, blk_logo, gr_logo).
Alternatively, go to the Style Library and change the background-image:url in the .logo style for each of the styles (Black, BlackGlass, Blue, BlueGlass, Green, Green Glass) and in the en-us/*.css files where * is each master page template you are using in the site.
Note: You only have to change the style you plan to implement.
2. If using a different sized image:
__________________________________________________
You will need to modify the style sheet elements in the master page style sheet en-us/*.css file.
The following is an example for a 238×33 logo in TopNavFlyouts.css:
.topArea
{
background:url("../../images/bl_band.jpg") no-repeat;
background-position:top right;
padding-left:10px;
}
.topArea :active
{
text-decoration:none;
}
.logo
{
background-image:url("../../images/kieferlogo.png");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:left center;
font-size:14pt;
padding-top:16px;
font-family: tahoma;
height:38px;
}
.logo a
{
color: #656B77;
padding-left:245px;
}
