I just happened by and I'm guessing you have all ready converted your board and that is good. But the code you posted was missing something creating a syntax and should look exactly like this:
%vars_version_information = (
number => "6.7.1",
ubb_lib_version => $1,
beta_title => "",
check_version => "0607010$1",
release_j => "2453105", );
you were missing the );
