This is what I would do. What was it doing\not doing that led you to believe it wasn't working?
Thanks for the quick response!

OK, I went back and did the entire process again without interruption this time. I found all the places I needed to make changes and did so however it should be noted that the cookie domain is blank for a local host installation (at least mine needed to be).
Also, for some reason my database prefix on the production site was "mbb_" and my new local host install was set at "mybb_" . Until I realized the difference it wasn't picking up any of the existing data.
Bottom line is that I got it working, thanks for the pointers!
