Even after running SR1 you won't be able to directly import the mailboxes into Eudora. You need to change the file type to "TEXT" first. Entourage creates a file with file type "MBOX" which is not recognised by Eudora.

There are several utilities that will let you do this, starting with Resedit. My favourite is 'FileTyper', but if you don't have anything else, you can always use applescript:

Tell app "finder"
Set theFile to (choose file with prompt "Select your MBOX file…" of type "MBOX")
Set the file type of thefile to "TEXT"
End tell
