I assume you used the modules export on the source machine.
Where did you put the module on the target machine when you imported it?
I can be wrong but it is a good idea to not put it in 
WEB-INF/packages/modules/xyz.zip since the modules reside there
and when the module import tries to import it, it finds it already there.

Put it one level up (packages) and do the import from there.

As said, I may be wrong but I vaguely recall I had exactly that same problem.
