Sorry for the delay, I'll be looking into the problem. Please note however that our converters to 2.0 might be still buggy, the developers are still fixing them, thus perhaps you may want to try the converter to 1.1.10, which should be stable.
You can always upgrade you SMF to SMF 2.0 RC1.2 (the current 2.0 version) using the large upgrade package to SMF2.0 RC1.2 ( http://download.simplemachines.org ), after the conversion.
