What converter did you use, i.e. where did you get it, off the downloads page or buried somewhere here in the forums?  Also what version of phpBB3 are you converting from ?  :)

For converting from phpbb3 to SMF 2.0 please try using the attached files instead.
narquelion is right, there were a number of bug fixes in the 2.0 converters which are not yet included on the converters available on the downloads page.
