Help! dbimport fails with our dbexport

As the subject says, Our customer have taken a dbexport with Online 5.07 directly to tape, and they are trying to run a dbimport into to a Dynamic Server Version 7.30.UC6. dbimport complains that it found 'unmatched quotes'. I _think_ that the problem is that dbschema sticks in a LF in a complicated constraints where the first quote is on e.g. line 10 and the closing quote is on line 11. Then we had to use an editor to edit the dbschema. Our _main_ problem are the dbschema is on tape and we can't edit it. We a 'working' dbschema but still we can't access our data. Is there a workaround here? E.g just importing the data and ignore the dbschema which are on tape, or use som tools just to load the data to disk.
