Got mine working, after Mike gave me the golden tip.
As it turns out the import log table did exist in my backup. I exported it from a restore, then imported it into my live db, and using the tip from http://xenforo.com/help/import-redirection/, I added the table to the 301redirect file, and that did it.
Thanks, Mike (and of course everyone else offering help). This seriously had me worried to the extent that I stayed up late last night trying to get it done. It's such a relief knowing everything worked out eventually

Where do I put these in my htaccess?
This is what I have and it's not working.

Thanks for the help
Well I've tried placing this code in several spots in the htaccess file and nothing changes.
I hope I can get this sorted soon

Did you upload the 301 redirects as well?

Will it make any difference if one plans to move from /forum/ in vB to the xenforo-esqe directory of /community/?
I'd like to stay away from /forum/forums/ but want to make certain the 301 redirects from Kier and the vBSEO htaccess rewrite rules will support this directory change.
Thanks

No, it shouldn't make any difference, the settings allow you to specify the folder where the new forum lives.
Also because you're changing from vBSEO, you actually get two different places where you can do the folder (or domain) swap, either in .htaccess where you direct the old vBSEO link to the standard vB link, or with the XenForo redirects themselves.
So...
1. Redirect forum/vBSEOlink -> forum/showthread.php in .htaccess
2. forum/showthread.php is actually the XenForo redirect script and will redirect to community/XenForo-link
or
1. Redirect forum/vBSEOlink -> community/showthread.php in .htaccess
2. community/showthread.php is actually the XenForo rediect script and will redirect to community/XenForo-link

Well, the instruction tells you to put it on near the top...And even I'm not sure if that'd work.
Anyhow, these are my results:
Code:
Source: Rewrites for uploaded XML file

RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+-([\d]+).html showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
Thread
RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+.html showthread.php?t=$1 [NC,L]
Forum Paging
Unsupported url format.
Forum
Unsupported url format.
Copy the rewrite rules given below to your .htaccess file in the same directory where you have placed showthread.php and forumdisplay.php files provided by Kier: Redirection Scripts for vBulletin 3.x. If you already have some rewrite rules in that .htaccess file, place these near the top.

Is there a converter for nginx?

The system outputs rewrite rules for Apache but I still went ahead and uploaded my custom vbseo rules, captured the output and then reworked them for Nginx. They are working perfectly on my test forum.

My rewrite knowledge is no the best.
Thanks Shadab for releasing this product.
I've managed to get threads redirecting correctly using a combination of this script and Kier's redirects. Since I am using the default URL rewriting structure for vBSEO (001 - without forum category IDs) I am going to manually 301 forum categories to their respective locations using the following rule in .htaccess:
(This is on the assumption that your vB installation resided in /forum and you are moving XF to root. The above are made up URLs)
Member URLs is what I am struggling with. Am I correct in thinking that the script developed by Shadab do not work for vBSEO member URLs? And if so, does anyone have any thoughts on how one might achieve seamless member URL redirects using .htaccess or the rewrite rules already provided?
Thanks!

Ok, so after setting up the vbulletin 4 redirector, and uploading my url settings via your website, then using the code it gave me. Instead of my forums telling me the post does not exist, it DOES redirect, but not to the existing post. Only to the forumhome... What's up?
Heres the code:

Ok I figured it out, make SURE you input your archived field into the config file:
define('IMPORT_LOG_TABLE', 'import_log_my_forums');
define('IMPORT_LOG_TABLE', 'import_log_my_forums');

This script will allow me to uninstall vBseo and keep urls working on vbulletin?

You will need to keep everything installed until import is complete. Save your archive, and then link to it in the config. You then can use the redirects script.
