I used phpMyAdmin and a simple SQL update statement to set the existing user ID fields. Quick note - I did not use the username field, as this is what drives the login on my site and I didn't want to change everyone's login. I simply created a custom field called cb_memberid and added the value to that.
I did have to do a series of update statements to accommodate the different length member nubmers (XXXX0001, XXX0012, XX,0123, etc)
