There was no need to export your database to GEDCOM to bring it over to RM5. RM5 opens RM4 database files directly and modifies them to the RM5 structure automatically. That process is irreversible so it is advisable to plan ahead if you want to keep a RM4 copy safe from upgrade. That said, your RM4 GEDCOM should import successfully to RM5. It sounds like you may not have checked the box to include Sources in the Export GEDCOM dialog. Also, if you have master Sources that are not cited by any person/fact among those exported and other unused items like Places, custom Fact Types, custom Source Templates, they are not exported.
