I had the same problem.  It was awhile ago, though and my memory is dull.
IIRC make sure the port script is to be "Script(Python)" , not "Controler
Python Script".  Here are some random notes I dug up:

port - the migration script - is in portal_skins/custom

- COREBlog_Export - the exported text data - is also in
portal_skins/custom
 Be sure not to include ".txt" extension in ID.

- Your COREBlog2 URL might be http://localhost:8080/test212/

- Then access http://localhost:8080/test212/port with web browser.

And I think the thing that really got for me was that I was using the export
button on the old blog, and not the custom export script:

You need to export using another export script. It is in migration
directory, named 'coreblogexport.dtml.txt'.

HTH,
