I have messed with adress book conversions a little. I have found that importing into Excel as an intermediate step allows you to make sure all your fields are lined up just right. Often a tab or comma delimited file gets thrown off by one goofy record, and then nothing lines up right. Putting it in Excel with headings and then making sure everything is clean will ensure that when you dump it into your new file, all the fields go to the right place. You may also want to rename some of your field headers to fit the new database.
