I would suggest not skipping the conflict resolution phase and selecting
Merge (M) for all conflicts. 

The clean solution would be to delete all vsites before importing (and merge
the home site).   CMU wasn't really desgined with this in mind, this more of a
backup and restore issue. 

Jeff-

Here is a little script to delete a bunch of vsites:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my ($cnt, $cmd, $site);
if(@ARGV) {
    $cnt = $ARGV[0];
} else {
    die "you need to provide a count\n"
}
if(-x "/usr/sbin/cobalt/delvsite") {
    $cmd = "/usr/sbin/cobalt/delvsite";
} elsif(-x "/usr/sbin/cdelvsite") {
    $cmd = "/usr/sbin/cdelvsite";
} else {
    die "Cannot find delvsite command\n";
}

for(my $i = 1;$i <= $cnt;$i++) {
    $site = "site".$i;
    system("$cmd -g $site");
}
