error -18000 when trying to rebuild outlook 2011 14.4.1 identity copied from Time Machine backups in Apple Mac OSX 10.9.3 (Mavericks)

I am trying to restore an identity that contains much email and many folders and signatures from a Time Machine backup. I have tried many backups going back to April, and every one I restore and open demands a rebuild and every rebuild fails with error -18000. I am running a new install of Outlook for Mac 14.4.1 I just bought in April.

All was fine until June 19 when Outlook failed to open.

I needed email to work right away, so I created a new identity and it has been working fine, but would like the folders and messages back from the Time Machine backup.
Can any of you suggest solutions I have not seen on this board? I haven't seen any posts regarding 14.4.1 and none of the suggestions on this board have worked for me. I also tried a fix permissions, but that didn't seem to help.

When I copy the Catagories, or messages folder from the Time Machine backup the working identity, it fails to rebuild with error -18000.

Does anyone here know what 18000 actually means or where else in the logs I might find exactly what is failing on me?

Thank you,
