Moodle 2.5 course backup will not restore with user data

by Dan Trockman.  

I had a few select courses in 1.9.19 that a teacher wanted restored with user data (mainly wanted forums to be kept for continuing use).

I took the 1.9 courses and moved them to a fresh 1.9 server instance and upgraded to 2.2 and then 2.5. The courses upgraded intact and had the user data preserved (note I am not interested in moving the users, just their data).

Next, as "manager' I made backups of the courses to include user data.

I uploaded the courses to our existing 2.5 production server for restore. In each case, when I try to restore, I get to a final step where it is ready to restore but does not include "user" data as an option.

Ideas? Note, I was under the impression that these files would be .mbz, but they are still .zip. I changed the name but that did not improve the situation. Is this an indicator of some sort? Is there still some legacy xml that will not let me move a course via backup?

Help.
