Unfortunately, that's not an option here.

The sections are not there.

> The Resources tool file, do you see it in melete's collection as in from Melete's Manage mode where it lists all the files. 

Yes, the files linked in the problematic sections are listed in the Manage Content area. And they are accessible by clicking on them in Manage Content.

> Does the filename have special characters in it like $#@ etc.

Nope. The names of the files linked in the problematic sections are "welcome.html" and "books.html".

> Try to bring over content using import from site and lets see if it fails there.

They do fail, same as the site duplication.

I'll do some remote Tomcat debugging via Eclipse to see if anything jumps out at me.

These sections are URL links that link to resources in a site that DO exist (you can click on the link in the settings and go to the page...). Here are screenshots of each of the settings:
