Can't move messages or folders from one PST to another

"Can't move the items. Could not complete the operation. One or more
parameter values are not valid."

I've been trying to consolidate my PST files to save space and make finding
things easier. I can't though, because that message keeps popping up
everytime I try and move the messages or folders from one file to another.
The error shows up for single messages, so moving fewer at a time won't
work. The PST fix utility used to work for about a dozen messages at a time,
then the error would turn up again. And saving the individual messages and
then importing them again isn't practical for tens of thousands of messages.

Anyone know any way to solve this?

Clear the Deleted Items folder and run Compact Now. The run scanpst.exe
against your file and try again. You should do this with all the pst-files
involved.
