have you established a trust between your two domains? What happens is that GPO's have associated domain information attached and domain A won't let domain B's policies go into effect without a domain trust relationship. At the very least, if you've exported GPO's from domain A, then to import them to domain B, you need domain B to fully trust admins from domain A.
Use Active Directory Domains and Trusts to set up such a partnership.

The 2 domains are not connected in anyway. All I wanted to achieve is to replicate the GPOs in one domain into another. The only way I see round this now is to import all the ADM files and just manually go through every setting in Domain A's GPOs and manually enter them into new GPOs I create on domain B.
Thanks for the response though.

Determine the GUID of the GPO that you want to copy.
Create a new GPO in the target domain.
Determine the new GPO's GUID.
Navigate to the new GPO's storage area (%SystemRoot%\SYSVOL\sysvol\\Policies\{}), and delete the contents of that folder.
Copy the contents of the GPO folder from the original domain into the new GPO location.
For example, imagine I have an original GPO named Test in the savilltech.com domain and a GUID of 5AA140D1-397A-4B5C-B4DC-DF60FF731FC0. To copy this GPO to a new GPO named Sales in the domainB.com domain, I would perform the following steps:
Create a new GPO named Sales in the domainB.com domain.
Determine the new GPO's GUID (e.g., 600140D1-397A-4B5C-B4DC-DF60FF73XXXX).
Navigate to the new GPO's storage area (%SystemRoot%\SYSVOL\sysvol\domainB.com\Policies\{600140D1-397A-4B5C-B4DC-DF60F
F73XXXX}), and delete the contents of that folder.
Copy the contents of %SystemRoot%\SYSVOL\sysvol\domainA.com\Policies\{5AA140D1-397A-4B5C-B4DC-DF60FF
731FC0} to %SystemRoot%\SYSVOL\sysvol\domainB.com\Policies\{600140D1-397A-4B5C-B4DC-DF60FF
73XXXX}.
Be aware that you won't have both folders on one machine; instead, you'll be copying files between DCs.
