Double quotes have a backslash in front of them after converting from phpBB 2.0

I noticed after it imported everything, that every where that there was a double quote, there is now a backslash in front of it.

You can go there for an example.

I looked in the database and the text is stored like this:

\"catastropic\"

In case that doesnt show up right, its backslash, html code for quotes, the word and then a backslash and html quotes again.

The source db was sql 2000 server, the destination db was sql 2005 express. This was run on win2k3 using php 5.2.5
