Import-SPWeb: The directory does not exist
So you've
exported a site or list and then when attempting to Import it again, you get an
error saying that the directory you are importing from does not exist, right?
My
error is below:
Import-SPWeb
: The directory D:\Test\Test.cmp does not exist.
At line:1
char:1

Import-SPWeb -identity http://mytestsite -Path D:\Test\Test.cmp -NoFileCompression -Force

So I ran
the export from Central Administration but I did say to include all versions.
I did not
check the user security box (which in reality I should have done!), but the
problem here was that I did not have FileCompression on in the export from
Central Admin.
I added
that switch to the cmdlet. So the Import would not work for that reason.
I tried running:
Import-SPWeb -identity http://mytestsite -Path D:\Test\Test.cmp -Force
Simply
removing -NoFileCompression solved the issue and it imported. J
Enjoy
