Ok, what did I do wrong?

I downloaded Jim's latest conversion tool and tested it on a previous contest ( 
ARRL RTTY ROUNDUP 2010 ).  My Contest logging software is WinTEST.  My current 
version of DX4win is 8.03 ( Although I think I might have a problem with it 
since I can't seem to access packet ).

1. I moved my contest adif file to the save folder under 8.03. 

2. I started the conversion tool. and told it to use the format of DX4WIN6 ( 
even though I am running dx4win version 8 ) .  Jim's instructions say to use 
DX4WIN6 when importing?

3.  The window in the conversion tool indicated that all my QSOs were written, 
but it also listed every QSO in the log with a notation "is missing received 
data"

3.  I confirmed that the tool did create a .dxq file under the same save folder.

4. I then did an import into dx4win using the import/filters ID of DX4WIN6 ( 
Again per instructions )  I used  "overwrite current QSOs" because I had 
previously loaded this file into DX4WIn ( You might ask why I would do 
this---The answer is because the original import did not populate the state 
column, it only populated the received column with the state. )

5.  The import result was that indeed it completed the import and the only 
issue is now neither the state column or the received column is populated ( 
Hence the original error message "is missing received data".  The note column 
was populated with the note I had entered into the conversion tool.

What am I missing.  Any help appreciated.
