Project Server 2007 Migration help

[AndrewFram]

I want to move my Project Server 2007 web access site to another server with a different hostname...

So I go to the old server's sharepoint admin->options->perform a backup and check off everything under "Project Server" (Web application, content database, pwa site, etc). Then I do a full backup to a shared folder
(completes successfully).

Next, I install Project Server 2007 on the new server and provision a project web site. I go into sharepoint central admin on the new server->Operations->Restore from backup, and type in the shared folder where I saved the backup. I select all of the components to restore as a new configuration. I enter the service account user/pass. I change the server name to the new host for all of the databases, and put in new database names.


The restore runs for a few minutes and everything comes back "completed" except for the entry for PWA which has:
"Object PWA failed in event OnPostRestore. For more information, see the error log located in the backup directory. FileNotFoundException: The site
with the id xxxx-xx-xx-x-x-x could not be found."

And now the PWA front end just gives me an "unexpected error has occured".

What am I missing?
