Lars what makes this scenario slightly fiddlier than normal (is there a
normal!), is that it is only a subset of the datelements of the one system
which are of interest in the other system.  So its not a wholesale
import-export of structural metadata.  The orgunits at least should already
be synched.  The trick now is to synch the selected dataelements and their
dependencies, which should work with the detailed metadata export .. though
it might require deleting the subjects on the target system first (not 100%
sure without trying).
