   you might have already figured it out or moved on... BUT for anyone just visiting:
   I had the same problem and followed this advice to solve it.

   #1 if you have an FTP blogger blog switch it to blogspot (do this inside of blogger -->"publishing" tab)

   2)go to wordpress.com and create a wordpress.com hosted blog.

   3) import your blogger.com blog to wordpress.com

   4)Once this is done, export the wordpress.com blog (in dashboard -->"manage" --export)

   5) Finally, in your self-hosted wordpress site import the wordpress.com blog.

   NOTE: if it gives you an error about you wp-content/uploads folder, you may get around it by changing the permissions on that folder to 777.

   Hope this helps
