What is the WordPress.COM username of the person you are trying to transfer the blog to?
What is the URL of the blog your are trying to transfer?
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address.
Below is what the blog’s owner must do.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased any upgrades to renew them or to transfer the blog and the upgrades to another username account.
To transfer a blog from one username account A to another username account B you must first log in under the username account A that owns the blog you want to transfer to the other username account.
Then you add the other username account B as an Admin of the blog.
adding users http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/Then you A can use this process to transfer the blog to that username account B instead http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

Thank you! After adding the user as admin, it worked.
I think word press should include this in their support page. -

We did some testing, and adding a user as an administrator should not be required in order to transfer blog ownership.
I’m not exactly sure what was happening in your case, but I’m glad to hear adding the new owner as an administrator first solved the problem.
