Need help with Map Transfer

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me with this.

I tried using Map Transfer to convert Valerie V5 to V4.
All I could find online was a badly written mini tutorial....

So I selected my Genesis figure from my scene onto which I had applied Val V4,
Opened Map Transfer,
Created a template and dragged over all the regions to it
Selected V4 as the target UV
set the folder for the converted textures and hit apply...

Then I loaded V4 and when I tried applying the maps, it was obvious that they were still set up for v5 UV...

Can anyone give me a clue if I'm doing something wrong and point me in the right direction?

Thanks

    One thing I do is change the names of the new maps (like putting exclamation point or number in front)
    I find DS gets confused with maps that are same name, especially if still load in memory somewhere.

    Thanks for that advice.

    Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the problem.
    I compared the two maps on genesis while alternating UV sets then actually compared them in Photoshop.
    They are in fact different but the converted one is just messed up...
    I Want to post a pic but I just remembered my FTP client doesn't work since updating my OS...
    Do I need to have Genesis in the default shape maybe??

    found another upload solution... http://bootlegbuttons.com/v5-v4_mess.jpg

    Now that I look at it again, I think I see the problem...
    the fingernail shapes tipped me off (I think)... I'm only supposed to convert one map or group at a time, I bet?
