Transport leads to "Inconsistent workflow definition"

[Kjetil Kilhavn]

If I understand correct you get an error in the transport log, not when you
try to run the workflow.

Have you tried transporting the subworkflows first in a separate transport
and then transporting your main workflow? This should of course not be
necessary and should not really help, but SAP works in mysterious ways.
