According to the email Cluster-B (the one with 5.0.4) has the variable 
block size thing, so that is going to be a no.

Besides which even if you could mmimport the file system into Cluster-B 
you can't "merge" the two file systems. You are going to need to use 
AFM, rsync or similar. Hopefull they have enough free space on gpfs_5 to 
copy the data from gpfs_4 :-)
