Just went to the whole process and I want to share some of my findings, hope that helps

Users and groups: export/import
I'ved used the shell script from http://tgoirand.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/alfresco-export-import-users-and-groups-script-shell/
With few changes, did the work for me.

In http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Export_and_Import#Export_.26_Import_Command_Line_Tools
The wiki suggest you to define a classpath with a list of all the jar you need. That is very painfull, especially if you switch to another version (and for 32r2 their suggested list does not work…).
like this….
java.exe -classpath classes\alfresco\module;..\..\..\shared\classes;classes;lib\abdera-core-0.4.0-incubating.jar;lib\abdera-extensions-json-0.4.0-incubating.jar;lib\abdera-i18n-0.4.0-incubating.jar;lib\abdera-parser-0.4.0-incubating.jar;lib\acegi-security-0.8.2_patched.jar;lib\activation.jar;lib\addressing-1.0.jar;lib\alfresco…. (and the list goes on an on)

I've used a section of code developped by 2009 Thomas Goiran (http://tgoirand.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/alfresco-export-import-users-and-groups-script-shell/) to work around this (see –1). Thomas code is simply autoloading all the .jar files; clever.

ALFRESCO_WEBAPP=tomcat/webapps/alfresco
WEBINFLIB=${ALFRESCO_WEBAPP}/WEB-INF/lib
EXTENSION_PATH=tomcat/shared/classes
EXTRA_LIB=tomcat/lib

if [ ! -d $ALFRESCO_WEBAPP ] ; then
        echo "Webapp: ${ALFRESCO_WEBAPP} not found. Exit."
        exit
fi

if [ ! -d $EXTRA_LIB ] ; then
        echo "$EXTRA_LIB not found…"
        EXTRA_LIB=tomcat/shared/lib
        echo "…trying $EXTRA_LIB"
fi

MODULEPATH=${ALFRESCO_WEBAPP}/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/module
CLASSESDIRPATH=${ALFRESCO_WEBAPP}/WEB-INF/classes
#gpb added
INSTALLDIR=/opt/Alfresco/Alfresco

if [ -r "$INSTALLDIR/scripts/setenv.sh" ]; then
. "$INSTALLDIR/scripts/setenv.sh"
fi
#gpb end
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/SDK/jdk"
CLASSPATH=${WEBINFLIB}:${MODULEPATH}:${CLASSESDIRPATH}:${EXTENSION_PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}

if [ -d $EXTRA_LIB ] ; then
    for EXTRA_JARNAME in $( ls ${EXTRA_LIB} )
        do
           CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${EXTRA_LIB}/${EXTRA_JARNAME}
        done
else
        echo "$EXTRA_LIB not found."
fi

for JARNAME in $( ls ${WEBINFLIB} )
do
    CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${WEBINFLIB}/${JARNAME}
done
# if you export from a version that does not have a setenv.sh set the java_home yourself
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/SDK/jdk" 
java -classpath ${CLASSPATH} org.alfresco.tools.Export -user admin -pwd mypassw -store workspace://SpacesStore -path /app:company_home/cm:intraPoly/ -dir /data/alf_migrate -overwrite
  -verbose  alfrescoSpaceStore-contentDEF

I've had quite a lot of troubles do perform an export from 32r2; the -path option is not very well documented
What worked for me.
/app:company_home …. (nothing else worked
and then the space meed to ne defined with prefix cm:myfolder
so /app:company_home/cm:intraPoly/cmEF did work.

-3- Import
Using the autoloader (see 2) helped a lot since I did not have to figure out the new names of the .jar when loading into a newer version of Alfresco (3.4.d) for the import as well.

However I've ended up busting the jvm on max memory (out of memory) Since there nothing that will be written in the database if you do not complete the process, I've ended up with an full alf_data and nothing in the DB…

To fix it, i've used :
java -Xms254m -Xmx254m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -classpath ${CLASSPATH} org.alfresco.tools.Import -user admin -pwd mynewpass -store workspace://SpacesStore -path /app:company_home/cm:intraPoly -dir /data/alf_migrate -verbose -encoding UTF-8 alfrescoSpaceStore-content

Then i've manually imported my additions to the datadict (my scripts and email templates)

That worked well for us and had been a good work around. Trying to autoconvert the DB through a schem update ( first start of a new version pointing to old alf_data and DB. completed with patch errors form 32r2 to 3.4.d (wcm patch updater failed)
Note: we have followed the iso to UTF-8 upgrate path without success, so after a couple of days trying, I' ve decided for a export and import.
