I noticed that for some reason it is saying that it is migrating from the same version of FosWiki, but the "From" foswiki installation should be 1.1.9. I would really apprecaite it if I could get some help.

You don't say the command that you used to run the bulk_copy utility. Could you provide a bit more details on what you did to run the copy?

Note that we've been seeing sites get better results by using the CharsetConverterContrib for the conversion. The issue is that most sites have users who cut/paste from Windows. That ends up inserting characters into topics that bulk_copy can't handle. CharsetConverterContrib also can change character sets "in place" and preserves files that are invisible to bulk_copy.

Note that you can get "realtime" help by using the IRC channel. See http://irclogs.foswiki.org/
