MS Project does not handle project schedules the same way as Powerproject or Sciforma PS8 or Primavera P3; nor do the different versions of MSP.
Before switching a schedule from one system to the other, you should check the options being active in both system: open Tools, Options, Schedule in MS Project, take note of the options and set up PP8 as close as possible as you have in MSP.
I have a longer and more accurate experience in migrating projects from MSP to PS8 one way or the other, and I know a lot of reason for projects not migrating easily.
Have a good day when you wake up in NZ.

You always have to check each item/task against the original after converting to ensure that it is correct.
Do not just export and hope for the best or trouble awaits you.
