Cannot Import Data into MATLAB 2010a

I am having trouble importing a large set of data from a .mat file into MATLAB 2010a on Mac OSX 10.6. The data was originally saved on MATLAB 2011a running on Linux. In order to accommodate the larger size, I saved the file using the '-v7.3'.

Using the Import Data button in the workspace manages to open the file and shows a summary of the variables, but the buttons within the Import Wizard are greyed out so I cannot actually import any of the variables (here is a picture of the Wizard http://i.imgur.com/ZKyNz.png). Unfortunately, the same issue occurs when I use the uiimport function instead of the import data button.

Does anyone know what is happening? And what I can do to fix it? I suspect that the error might have to do with the fact that the data is around 1.7GB.
