Hi Pheasant Plucker,
only standard/default PST files have all folders in a PST file. Additional
PST files only have a "Deleted Items".
A lot of standard functions are only supported in the "Default PST file"
which is the "Delivery Folder". You can only use/have 1 PST file as default
PST.
Reminders, journal, incoming emails or invitations are only supported in the
delivery folder = default PST.

You can only change the delvery folder to the new PST:

I use it to store my information in different PST files like, 2006.pst,
2007.pst, so I create a new PST file, safe it on the desktop and change the
delivery folder to 2006.pst, restart Outlook and then I change the delivery
folder to 2007.pst and I always get the hole structure after a restart. The
last PST file I create is my "Personal Folder".
Mybe there is a script available on
www.outlookcode.com but I am not sure.

To create a new PST file with teh complete structure, you have to copy the
structure (with all the emails) or you have to create all the folders in the
new PST.
To "move" new incoming emails into the "structure", or to move emails from
the "Inbox" into the folders of the structure you could create rules in
Outlook.

Maybe it helps.
