With regards to your points: 3) I've experimented with a few ways of bulk importing to Rivendell the fastest way of chewing through thousands of audio files was to make a program to do it for me. I've only done this with Dalet and Nextgen systems so far which could export audio data as xml files.
I knocked up a program to run rdimport on the files and manipulate the DB to re-input the data gleaned from the XML files that were appropriate to Rivendell (stuff like Artist, year, album, hooks, segues, fades etc). The programs not really in a state thats easily modified by other programmers yet but I can certainly lay out the steps involved if thats useful. 4) I'm not familiar with Audio Vault but if you can match up the tables with equivalents in Rivendell and then script some MySQL translations you should be able to get most things transferred. 5) I prefer Ubuntu but settled on Debian after Ubuntu refused to work with the measurement computing PCI-DIO 24 driver from Rivendell. I think that was probably down to my own stupidity than any fault of Ubuntu's mind. It would probably be wise to move to Cent OS as that is the base system that is used on the appliance CD (plus you can get paid support for live CD based installs that is good value). I'll have more info on the importer program as christmas approaches and the managers disappear for their annual migrations, at the moment progress is slow due to other work commitments.
