Duplicate entry when importing database

I exported a database last night, then upgraded to 2.6.1 (don’t know if the subsequent upgrade has anything to do with the error. I doubt it, but thought I’d mention it). (I needed to reinstall using Simple Scripts — I’ve been attacked too many times by hackers).

Importing the databases using phpMyAdmin gets me Duplicate entry ‘3’ for key 1 error (see full error message below) every time I try.

I’ve already read http://wordpress.org/support/topic/137063?replies=17 (several times!). All IDs have auto-increments. I’ve searched the forums for the past couple hours.

Tried deleting the particular comments from the SQL table, but continue to get the error messages. Deleted the whole database and tried installing again, get the same message.

Anyone have any idea what I can try next?
