It is very possible that the internal changes between the two platforms mean that the test for the existance of the view is failing, and that it never gets dropped.
You might try just running the existance query
select * from sysobjects where id = object_id('dbo.jw1_distinct_suniq_Career') and type = 'P'by itself first, to see what you get back.
