powershell import-spweb fails with "parent does not exist" error.

So, I have a sp 2010 site at http://myfarm/sites/it/d22 and I want to copy the contents tohttp://myfarm/sites/bb/d62 .

I perform

Export-SPWeb -Identity  http://myfarm/sites/it/d22  -Path d:\temp\d22 -IncludeUserSecurity –IncludeVersions All  -NoFileCompression –Verbose

and then I perform

import-spweb -identity http://myfarm/sites/bb/d62 -path d:\temp\d22   -includeusersecurity  -nofilecompression -verbose -force

It runs for 4-5 minutes and then produces the error:

[Folder] []   Error: The file  cannot be imported because its parent /sites/bb/d22/ADMIN does not exist.
[Folder] []   Error: The file  cannot be imported because its parent /sites/bb/d22/ADMIN does not exist.

Of course bb/d22/ADMIN does not exist - d22 exists under sites/it . And Admin should be part of the export of d22 that should be created if the process completes.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here?
