If you have not already done so, I strongly suggest that you contact 
Circle Systems directly.  In my experience their support for 
Stat/Transfer is fantastic -- the lead developer himself has 
personally helped me on several occasions through rather thorny 
transfer problems.  My guess is that this will be the fastest way to 
solve your problem.
