I guess this is the best way for doing this (maybe the only way)
I had problems in the past while trying to recover a 6.5.3 catalog into 
a 6.5.4 master server. There were some schema changes in the nbu 
database in 6.5.4 and I had to rollback to 6.5.3.1, do the catalog 
recover and then upgrade to 6.5.4
