 It was a new install, and I did the export/import routine. The
 media/attachments weren't in the export file for whatever reason, so they
 couldn't have been downloaded using the import tool.

 I feel like the import tool would be a slow way to transfer potentially
 gigs of media too. I had all the content archived and compressed into a
 much smaller format which was easier to drop in the right place.
