Old URL's Keep redirecting the to home page (need assistance!)

I have asked just about everyone with help about my issue. It's been a week and still I have nothing..

Last week I converted my smf forum over to vb. Everything's fine except I can't redirect my old smf url's to the new vb url's. I looked at this mod but don't know how to use it/can't get it working.

So FINALLY I said forget it. I'll just have to deal with losing my search engine rankings and all those backlinks. I have no other choice. But my old SMF url's are formed like this:

example.com/index.php?topic=555

Which go to my forums homepage even if I have a 404 page set up. I guess it's the /index.php that is causing it to go to my homepage. Now all my old listings in google are being indexed as duplicate content of my homepage.

How Can I STOP vbulletin from directing /index.php? links from going to my homepage!?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
