First, Xenon - thanks for the tip. I bet that'll do the trick and I can't wait to try.

Regarding Logician's post...
The conversion script must be a custom one depending on the user details of the site applied for everyone. So for example your memberinfo might be including membername, email, location, age, while some other site owner's list has membername, profession, interests, birthday.

I realize this, which is why I customized my member info file to match with vBulletin's fields. I actually painstakingly reorganized the data columns to work with the import, which is why the MySQL database was populated correctly. If the MySQL import worked (and I was just missing what Xenon pointed out), I'm wondering if a be-all, end-all script couldn't prompt the user to match fields and then change the field names/descriptions later. Just a thought.
