It could be because the regon is different. That matters for saves sometimes, I think. Might want to google a save game converter for PS3 and see what you find. I know for PS2 I had to change save game types for gameshark to import them to my PS2. I would download a codemasters save from gamefaqs and then convert it to gameshark, as an example.
If it's not the region then I guess it's related to online stats like Rock Band (and I guess CoD4).
