Directories created.
Making default files.
System default file created...
Terminal default file created...

the only supported way of trusting and untrusting a system is through sam.

you may have bad entries in your password file.

run

pwck /etc/passwd

remove or replace bad characters in the passwd file and try the convert again

Did someone (as root) change permissions and/or ownership for / and /etc?
