Accepted answer
Work Item Templates depend on the process of the project areas. If you don't have the same process and especially a mismatch in the work item type ID's in both processes, then the imported template simply can not work. It should be pretty obvious that this is the reason for the above error message.
You can modify the XML to match the data of the target project area to be able to import and use it.

I don't see what I can do to help. You need to get the data right, if the project areas have a different process. The XML is not too complex and it should be easy enough to figure that work items to use and you can find the ID for them in the target project areas process easily enough. You can look through the forum if there are other hints: https://www.google.de/search?q=work+item+templates+site:jazz.net
I would try to export import between two projects with the same not customized process to understand the process and then try to fix issues due to different processes.
