First, copy the PST to your hard drive. Next, right-click it, choose
Properties, and remove the read-only attribute. Third, start Outlook and
click FIle>Open>Outlook Data File. Fourth, browse to the PST, select it,
and click OK. You now have access to all the data it contains. NEVER
import from a PST.
I updated to Vista from XP and backed up all my files. Inculuding outlook.
When I try to import the pst file i get that message.

You do not import PST files. You open them.
Why do you need to import your PST file?

Use the account "Administrator" in safe mode to give your normal user
permission to access the file and then take ownership of it with the normal
user.
