IPB 2.0.3 to SMF 1.1.9 Permissions Problem

I'm trying to convert a 516 Members IPB 2.0.3 Forum to SMF 1.1.9 Forum.  All seems to go well.  The only errors are regarding missing Avatars that it's trying to copy.  No big deal there.  My real problem is a forums permission problem.  Even though a Group is supposed to have permission to a Board, it doesn't let them have access.  Boards are set to Global Security and not Local Security and Group has permissions.

Update: I just looked at the Visible Boards for Membergroup and it doesn't match that of the IPB Forums Permissions Mask .  So it seems that it didn't import the Forum Permissions Mask from IPB correctly.

The quickest way you could do this is manually fixing them. Depending on whether you have more membergroups of boards, you could either edit the boards and add membergroups or edit each membergroup and add the boards.

Could you send me a dump of your groups table from ipb? This would be helpful for me in seeing where the converter might of made a mistake.
