I think it would be pretty straightfoward to write a short script to achieve this, if you are comfortable with php and sql. I suggest working through the csv import feature of this hack.

You would need to do the following:
a) shift your attachments out of the database into the filesystem
b) the script would then loop through a join of the attachment and post tables to create properly formatted csv records which this hack could read

You also need to work out the directory where VB is storing the attachments, which is formed by cutting up the userid into separate digits
