A customer has several hotels. The websites have nearly the same layout (only 
very little images/text differ) and are edited by different people. So I want 
to copy the site from hotel A in SGA to hotel B in SGB, adjust the text and 
images and continue with the next one. All this sitegroups are located in the 
same midgard-DB.

In former days I exported the source with repligard (scheme withsg), imported 
as admin (without SG), got a new unnamed SG, renamed it and all was fine. 
This doesn't work anymore. Tried to export and import with schem i18n_po, but 
the result is somewhat mixed up.

thanks,
