Moving MySites to a different farm in BTR

Don't ask why I am trying to do this but I need to migrate a few MySites from a BTR installation to a different BTR installation so I then can upgrade them to RTM.

It seems like the stsadm -backup/restore doesn't capture all the meta data and other dependencies tied in with MySites. Does anyone out there know a good way to achieve this

I've tried the stsadm -export -includeusersecurity but I am getting all these "access denied" errors on export AND import.

Needless to say, this is messy.

Thanks,
Rabbit
