Trying to move posts from NNTP virtual server to another

Hi,

I have the following setup:

news.domain1.com/supportgroup
news.domain2.com/othergroup

I want to move all of the posts from domain1.com/supportgroup to
domain2.com/othergroup, and then mark the domain1 group as read only, so I
can continue working in the domain2 group normally.

To do this I set up the domain2 nntp server, and created a new group. I then
stopped both domain1 and domain2, copied all of the posts from the domain1
group to the domain2 group, and then right-clicked on domain2 and chose
Rebuild Server. After Rebuild Server finishes running, I check in teh
domain2 folder, and all of the nws files are now labeled nws.bad, and if I
start the server and pull messages I don't get anything back.

Has anyone ever successfully moved posts from one nntp server to another?
I've been digging through google for over an hour without a single hit on
moving an nntp server.

Thanks,
