| USB drive?

Nope. Ban on all "USB Mass Storage Devices" by "company directive" and Group Policy.

Can't buy her a FireWire hard disk for this purpose either.

Cute.

I am smarter though...

Connect a laptop not hooked up to the domain (will ignore domain group
policies)
Setup a user on that laptop and setup file sharing
Connect a USB drive to that laptop and share it
Access the laptop as \\ip.address\sharename and authenticate to it with
a local account
Copy the PST to this network share

Let the other campus administrator deal with the headache of putting her
files onto her new machine.

Would take about 2 minutes to set this up if you have a laptop handy.

Thanx Diane, that's pretty much what i am doing now and its taking hours.

Can't use 3rd party "file splitter software" unless I get waver or gor throu an approval
process or it is a Microsoft branded utility for said pupose.
