Error during import: System.ArgumentException: Cannot be the same as destination

Vote:
 

Hello community,

I am trying to import content from our UAT server to our Production server.

The Production database was originally cloned from the UAT database, both code bases are the same.

My procedure when exporting/importing is really straight forward, first: http://screencast.com/t/UkT1W7t7g

Then I get the final file (7MB+) with all the content from UAT, then I go to Production and select the following: http://screencast.com/t/UkT1W7t7g

When clicking on import I get the following error: http://screencast.com/t/lgr7jeFX

This is what I get in the error log:

I do not get what the problem might be, any help is really appreciated.
