If for some reason you cannot upgrade to r5648 or better,
you could do the following:
[0] Turn off the virt server.
[1] Mount the AVM via cifs
[2] Look at <storename>:/www/avm_webapps/*
for each store corresponding to an author
(e.g.: mysite–alice:/www/avm_webapps/*
[3] Via cifs, delete any webapp dir/file that isn't also in staging.
When you do this, be sure to list every file,
including hidden files. If you're on windows, I prefer to
use a cygwin shell and do an "ls -laF"
[4] When doing a bulk import prior to r5648, do it
in staging not an author area.
[5] Now that everything within your author stores at the
/www/avm_webapps/* level is seen via transparency,
your virt server should be able to start again.
Again, the best approach is to upgrade to >= r5648,
so this workaround only applies to those who cannot.
I hope this helps,
