Provisioning failed because the databases specified did not match

We are wanting to move our SharePoint and Project Server databases from a SQL
2005 server to a new SQL 2008 server. The steps that we have taken to
attempt to accomplish this are as follows:

1) Full farm backup using built-in SharePoint tools.
2) Disconnect the server from the farm.
3) Create a new farm on the new SQL 2008 server.
4) Perform a full farm restore.

After the restore when the Project Web Access service starts the PWA
instance is showing a message of:

failed - see the event log

Examining the SharePoint ULS log shows the following entries :

Office Server Office Server General SQL Server 'XXXXXXXXX'
version is '10.0.2531.0'.

Project Server Project Server Provisioning Provisioning 'PMIS': Server
versions: Primary 10.0.2531.0, Reporting 10.0.2531.0.
