importing a catalog problem

I am trying to merge the reference catalog on my travel MacBook Pro with the main reference catalog on my Mac Pro.
I moved the folder with the files and the catalog from my MBP to the desktop of my Mac Pro.
After opening C1 on my Mac Pro I tried importing the MBP catalog but I get stopped with this dialog.

What does that mean and how can I get around it?

  It means that Capture One cannot find the files referenced by the catalog that you are trying to import.
  
  This is likely because the catalog database has file location information that points to folders on the main drive of your travel laptop.
  
  What will likely solve the problem is to first open the copied catalog file (before import) and straighten out the file references, by using the "locate" function in the "folders" section of the Library.
  
  ( it is very important that you do this in the "Folders" section, not the "User Collections" section, else the job wil be very tedious)
  
  Once the copied Catalog has proper image folder references, then import it.
