A caveat however is that my translation never did succeed, but I don't think it was due to the changed file.

Thanks. I'm a complete VSS noob too. Today I talked to someone who knows it better than me and he told me how I can completely remove files from within VSS itself. I'm now on the last of multiple runs of analyze.exe with -F, -C and -D before copying over the files to Linux for another attempt to run vss2svn.pl My tactic so far was to find and remove all .exe, .dll and .bmp files (and some other large binary setup files) from inside VSS. These are non-versioned anyway and were put there more as a backup thing. Once the conversion is over I expect I'll be able to just checkin the last copy of these files directly into SVN.
