Thanks Paul, I guess then all I need to do is remove the root entries at the
begining of the insert statement and then just insert the rest into 5.X since
the column names are there it should just import with no problems right?
Thanks again :-)

Ask the admin to re-dump the data, this time using mysqldump --complete-insert
so that the INSERT statements include the column names.
