When you run what Eric mentions, what you are going to see is the following:
Processing user Account1...
Checking for email addresses...
Processing user Account2...
Checking for email addresses...
Processing email addresses...
Retrieving user information from database...
Adding email address Henline, Jason- [EMAIL PROTECTED] to database...
Look to see if you see a line similar to...
Adding email address ? - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to database...
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
If you see the above line, send me(off list) the aliases.txt file for the last user being processed. Any user that was processed before this error should have their contacts, if the replyto address is set correctly.

How about running the wgscvt from a command line and piping the output
to a file (wgscvty.exe > c:\convert.txt) so we can see what is
happening. Now keep in mind this is just going to convert the contacts
in each user's aliases.txt file. This will not bring over the sjared
contacts in the CommonAddressBook.
