Thank you, and thank you! This fixed my problem.

define('SKIP_USERINFO', 1);
define('CWD', 'path/to/vbulletin/forum'));

require_once(CWD . './includes/init.php');

 //work around to make global vbulletin stick
$registry = $vbulletin;
unset($vbulletin);
$vbDb = $registry->db;
//declare as global vbulletin's registry and db objects
global $vbulletin,$db;
$vbulletin = $registry;
//vbulletin db object which is needed for vbulletin's project tools addon
$db = $vbDb;

Thanks!
