File Not Found Error.

Question
-
Hi,
I'm doing some migration from one site collection to another and can't seem to get past this error. Here is what I did:
- Created the a new site in destination site collection using SPD (used empty site template)
- Exported site to .cmp (using stsadm) for original source.
- Imported .cmp (using stsadm) to the destination.
- Not all the sites have publishing feature turned on so while testing i had a site that gave me the file not found error.
- I fixed this by turned on the publishing feature for that site and the default page came up. (default.aspx to root of site)
- I clicked on a link that links a pages directory pages/file.aspx and i get the error again "file not found"
The files are there. I just can't view them.
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks,
Kevin

if you copy files across different site collections ensure that masterpage which is used on site collection 1, also exists in the _catalogs/masterpage in site collection 2. This is often the reason of such error during migration.
