Hi AaronKColleage,
The disk conversion process is done to "patch" the VM to accommodate for differences between platforms and to try to ensure a bootable VM. During the migration process, things like disk UUID, networks, etc will change, so the disk conversion process attempts to accommodate for this.
Have you opened a Support Case for the behavior yet? Regrettably we won't be able to tell what went wrong with the conversion over the forums as it will require a review of the debug logs for a proper answer.
Also a small hint: Were the backups of the source machine taken with Guest Indexing enabled? For *Nix machines, the Guest Indexing process does a bit more than just collect information about files on the system, and it often helps (is required) for V2V conversions like this. Give it a shot with indexing enabled if it was not enabled and see if it goes better.
