Encountered errors while running Exmerge. Please Help!

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I carefully followed Jim McBee's recipe for setting up ExMerge permissions
(http://mostlyexchange.blogspot.com/2005/07/recipe-for-setting-up-permissions-to.html). However, I still couldn't get it working.

I created a domain user and a global security group. I added the user to
that security group. Then, I delegated the "Exchange view only administrator"
right to the group over the First Administrative Group object (Of course,
I added the required registry entry to enable the security tab). I also
granted
Send AS and Receive As right to the group over the Exchange store object
under the Server Container using Exchange System Manager.

In order to assign the "log on locally" right on all domain controllers to
the group, I used GPMC to assign the right to the group. Since I
couldn't find a way to assign the group to the local computer administrators
group on the Exchange server (I did not see local users and groups by
right clicking on My Computer and choosing Manage). The Exchange server
is a Windows 2003 domain controller without GC. The version of the
Exchange is 2003 SP1.

I used "Run As" to run the ExMerge.exe on behave of the user. I received the
following error messages:

An error was encountered with one or more users when retrieving the list of
mailboxes homed in the selected databases on server 'myserver' Please refer
to the log file, 'ExMerge.log', for more information.

I clicked the OK button, another ExMerge error message window popped up
saying:

Error encountered getting mailbox information from the private information
store database(s) on server 'myserver'. Make sure you have adequate
permissions on the Information Store object. Please refer to the
'ExMerge.log' log file for more information.
