Both the xml export of the target and original instance contain the following lines:

{code}

<customfieldoption id="10043" customfield="10121" customfieldconfig="10152" sequence="0" value="Amsterdam/">

<customfieldoption id="10044" customfield="10121" customfieldconfig="10152" sequence="1" value="Chicago/">

<customfieldoption id="10045" customfield="10121" customfieldconfig="10152" sequence="2" value="Sydney/">

{code}

both instances have identical values for id, customfield, customfield, customfieldconfig and value.

Check the target instace whether there is a space in the table customfieldoption:

SELECT * FROM customfieldoption WHERE CUSTOMFIELD IN (SELECT id FROM customfield WHERE cfname='Location');
