First off that PST file is still under the size that is allowed. The problem could be that it was bigger than 2 Gb and it was truncated. The scan tool wont fix everything and MS admits that. The other tool that you can try is not available unless you contact MS support and those calls are not free. I would see if you can rename it and import it some cases allow this to happen and it takes care of the issue.
