FYI, to anyone else having this issue:(from 2003 server to 2003 server)
Run a dhcp backup on first server, stop dhcp service.
Stop dhcp service on target server
Copy entire system32\dhcp folder from first server to target server.
Start service on target server.
This worked like a charm, and Im nuts for the time I spent trying to find a
fix for the export command. Leases started handing out immediately.

Due to all the tech notes that said you could only do this on nt4 and 2k I
was reluctant to try it, but it worked.
I did not copy the reg key as I had already configured the default dhcp
server options.
