Cannot move messages between PST after Inbox Repair

Hi,
I have Outlook 2000 and a pst file about 1.5 GB. Yesterday
I could not open it and it said that I shuld run the Inbox
recovery tool. I did it. And now I cannot move any message
from this pst file to a new one. It gives me a message:
"Can't move the items. Unable to delete this folder. Right-
click the folder, and then click Properties to check your
permissions for the folder. See the folder owner or your
administrator to change your permissions."
OR
"Can't move the items. Could not complete the operation.
One or more parameter values are not valid."
Is there anything I could do to move the messages to new
pst files ?
Please Help,
Thanks
Vanya

Versions earlier than 2003 have a threshold size for PSTs
set, which I believe is 1.5g.

Can you copy them instead of move them? What happens if you first try to
compact the folders in the PST (right-clisk on your "Personal Folders" or
"Outlook Today" in the folder list, choose Properties, click Advanced, then
Compact Now)? Did the Inbox Repair Tool finish without error?
