Wojciech,
  since you  have successfully done step #4 can you tell me what is use 
in the reformat for the old index id?
  I tried to do this a few weeks ago was not succsessful at reformatting 
an ost with the old index because
  I am not clear on what the index is.  I asked on this list at that 
time for input and did not get much.
  If you could provide the exact command you used that would be good too.
