for some reason, a3 handles the directory names in a different way when 
it comes to underscores and hyphens, i think. you might find that your 
directory is actually named interchange/paradiso_2 or something. just 
add the correct name to the search path when a3 prompts you, and you 
should be fine.
i have one session which i want to use with both a2 and a3 (works 
because a3 will always leave an a2-compatible backup session named 
$FOO-1.ardour when it imports), and somehow i had to add a symlink in 
interchange/ to make it work (ln -s NAME_AS_A2_THINKS_IT_SHOULD_BE 
NAME_AS_A3_SEEMS_TO_EXPECT_IT)...

haven't gotten around to reporting it yet...
