Hi Paul (and Fleep).  What I suspect you're seeing is errors like this when you try to load the oar.

2010-12-21 22:16:39,700 ERROR - OpenSim.Region.Framework.Scenes.Serialization.SceneObjectSerializer [SERIALIZER]: 
Deserialization of xml failed with System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document. ---> 
System.InvalidOperationException: 'Scripted,' is not a valid value for OpenMetaverse.PrimFlags.

This is because the default object serialization format in the master dev branch briefly changed between about 17 Oct to 
29 Nov in a way that was not backward compatible with older OpenSim releases (including the current Diva distro).  After 
29 Nov, the format became backwards compatible again.

Because the OSGrid distro follows the development branch, this leaves a small window where OARs were saved with 
non-backward compatible object serialization formats.

If this is the problem, then I suggest loading the OARs back into the most current OSGrid distro and saving them out 
again.  This should give them the uptodate backward compatible format.

On older OSGrid distros there will also have been a --version switch on "save oar" which could save out the old object 
format.  However, since Dec 11 this switch has been dropped as it's doesn't currently do anything significant.

Of course Paul, you could be experiencing something else entirely, in which case we would need answers to the questions 
that Fleep asks, and data such as version numbers of the osgrid and diva distros.
