Can't import Parallels 3.0

I've read you can't import Parallels 4.0 into Fusion. But I am using Parallels 3.0 and it is still grayed out and I can't import it into my Fusion Trial.

Whats wrong?

Cheers.

Yes that's correct...
VMware Fusion 2 Release Notes - Known Issues
VMware Fusion 2 does not directly import Parallels Desktop 4 virtual machines.
Due to a recent change to the Parallels virtual machine file format, VMware Fusion 2 can not directly import 
Parallels Desktop 4 virtual machines. To work around this, download and install VMware Converter for Windows in 
your Parallels virtual machine, uninstall Parallels Tools, and run the VMware Converter to import the PC. Detailed 
steps are at http://www.vmware.com/download/fusion/windows_to_mac.html.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you other then to say you can use VMware vCenter Converter if you can't get get Import command to work.
