When you import, there's no need to override the media server.... The 
act of importing assigns the "reading" media server as the "new" backup 
server.  In other words, the new server appears as if it always was the 
backup server.  And you should be able to import 3.4 written tapes into 
a 4.5 environment.

On another note, how does the restore fail?  Can you restore the data 
to a different location and then move it to the final location?
