Well long story short I had an android wallet on my phone.  I apparently outgrew it as I received an email from the developer that it was running out of memory due to the number of transactions at which time it lost transactions and I can't transfer the btc out because it crashes and shows incorrect amount.

I have a password protected backup of the wallet.dat but the format doesn't import easily into other wallets as I understand it is bitcoinj and not bitcoind if I am reading posts correctly?  I was attempting to use pywallet to dump the private keys so I can then transfer the btc into multibit or something similar so I can send it off to storage.

I don't know python syntax, I am on a windows7 machine and the web interface gives errors when trying to dump the wallet or keys.  I have also tried the following syntax command line:

pywallet.py --dumpwallet --datadir=DATADIR --wallet=WALLETFILE --passphrase=PASSPHRASE

Is there anyone that can help me through this process?  I'll throw a little btc your way!
