Hi Mike,
In EPrints 3, the file object was added. It needs to be generated before
the pdf files can be downloaded.
Try the following instructions from point 3.

Migrate the documents folder
* export EPrints 2 Metadata using the provided migration toolkit, make
change to the exported XML if necessary.
* import the XML to EPrints 3 server
* copy over the documents folder to the new server
* run epadmin upgrade, epadmin update [repoid] -- to upgrade the
database structure
* run epadmin upgrade_add_files [repoid] -- to add the file object
introduced in eprints3
If the files are not downloadable (giving eprints system error), delete
the file table in the database, then do epadmin update(create the files
table), then rerun epadmin upgrade_add_files
