What version are you converting from and what converter are you using?
Did you try this converter from emanuele?

I'm sorry, I can't help you any further, lets wait for someone who understands better the converter "thing".

That looks like the end of the conversion process.
A bit more "clear" description would help a lot in understand what the problem is.

Most likely the cause of this problem is that your host has session.save_path set to a non writeable directory.
