   So I downloaded all the syncdat messages on VERT in QWK packet and imported   
   into a new install of SBBS and then run 'jsexec avatars import':   
      
   ...   
   Importing msg #5112 from Karloch: parsed 8 avatarssuccess

   Importing msg #5115 from Luis Silva: parsed 3 avatarssuccess   
   new import_ptr = 5115

   With no errors. Seemed to work as expected (other than the rather unfortunate   
   console/log output).   
      
   Maybe take a look at the messages in your SYNCDATA echo and see what's up with   
   them? In sure you downloaded them (in QWK packets) using a QWKnet account (not   
   a normal user account) as well.
