My trouble has been fixed.
The trouble was with the perl module HTTP::Date
For anyone else getting a blank screen when trying to run this script, 1 of two things is the problem
1. - you dont have the HTTP::Date perl module installed on your server or
2. - the module is configured incorrectly.
The quickest way to determine if you have this module installed is to telnet into your server and issue this command:
perl -mHTTP::Date
If you get an error of any kind that is where the trouble lies.

Problem #2
My avatar directory name did not change. (my original avatar directory was "Avatars" so the script doesnt need to move anything.
The script locked up while trying to move the avatars.
I checked the board and every member file had the picture field changed to blank, but it did not place the correct avatar in the avatar field - meaning every profile now does not have an avatar selected. Lovely.
I reran the script and it completed sucessfully but didnt fix the problem
