Try importing it rather than pointing to the backed up PST. To do this you'll have to rename current PST then open Outlook again and it'll complain, just create a new one then then go to File menu and open your old pst and then you should be able to see the folder structure. After that either just import or drag and drop the messages to the new PST.

I think it's a unicode thing with 2010. With 2007 you can use the old way (2003 and older) but with 2010 it defaults to new formatting.?? (not sure there :ermm:)
