Stuck on conversion because of colliding users #2

Hi! I am trying to convert a SMF to Phpbb and have tried allot of things to get it to work. I succesfully converted from Vbulletin 4 to SMF, works perfect. It was the only step that would make it possible to get to Phpbb. I have SMF 2.0.1. and a Phpbb 3.2.1. and when I start the convertorn it will give this error: Call to a member function error() on null in /home/xxxxx/public_html/forums/install/convertors/functions_smf20.php on line 747 The error is in this file: functions_smf20.php on line 747

The line 747 is this one: $convert->p_master->error('<span style="color:red">' . $user->lang['COLLIDING_USERNAMES_FOUND'] . '</span></b><br /><br />' . $list . '<b>', __LINE__, __FILE__);

If I am correct there should be a problem with colliding users. I do not know how this convertor looks at usernames, but it must be something that it tells me that 'Piet' and '!piet' are the same since it isnot possible to use a exact name twice. I do not get a list of the usernames in question. And searching by hand is way too hard because there are a couple of thousands names.

Is there not a workaround that the convertor either skips the search for colliding usernames or that it only pics out the really doubble names? If not, how do I get it to work?
