We are currently running Firewall-1 ver 4.1 on NT4.0 I want to upgrade to Firewall-1 NG running on a new server and Windows 2000. I have already set up the new server and installed NG on it.

How do I copy my objects and rules from the old version to the new one?

I tried the dokument "How to manually merge objects and rules from VPN-1/Firewall-1 4.1 to NG FP1" on the checkpoint support site.
This works in the sence that I can see all my old rules in policy editor and they do seem to work. However the whole setup goes whacky.
for instance:
When I try and delete a certain object it says that the object is in use on rule 10 and 11, this is not the case.
When I change something and install the new policy, it comes back with an error "No read permissions or no objects in tabel SLP_Policies". If I try to install the policy again it does this without any problem.

I only get this problems after I merge my old stuff on the new fw. If I manually create a couple of rules on the new fw it works fine, but as soon as I go through the notions of that dokument I screw up the whole thing. Afterwords I can copy back my backup conf directory and everything is fine again.
Does anybody have any ideas on this?
