Hi Sebastian,

as already mentioned Exocortex Crate does this reliable.
See here: http://exocortex.com/blog/crate_custom_attribute_softimage

Just a side note, getting custom attributes from XSI into Houdini can be a pain 
too and I’ve had much better luck exporting those from 2015 with its onboard 
Alembic than with Crate.
