 From my experience, ESRI/ArcGIS produces not really wrong, but 
incomplete .prj-Files in regard to the "towgs84" - Parameter. I solved 
the problem using the suitable .prj-file I sent with the last e-mail in 
renaming it according to the shape file in question or copying the part 
to the ESRI-generated .prj-file.

HTH!
