David,
ok, that explains it - the definition for each database on a SQL Server is
maintained in the Master database. In this case, you only copied the
MasterPlan database files, the Master still had no idea that there was a
database with this name. Please take a look at the following KB article for
steps on moving a database from one SQL Server to another:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314546
