Are you saying that you're not seeing the ratings on the demo version here? I just checked and they seem to be appearing fine...

2. Are the files identified by userid? Photopost prefixes the file name with a userid, which is absolutely useless when the filename begins with digits. There is no way to perform intelligent data recovery with integrity (rebuild table from dir/files). Has that been addressed? What other integrity checks are built in?
The folder that the images are stored in is determined by the userid, but that is the only thing. There's currently not a way to rebuild your database by the files alone, but if you just back-up your vBulletin database along with the files occasionally then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

3. There is an awful lot of text! Adult sites are in this for the pictures. Here is my "must have": Once a member's gallery has been located and a picture displayed full size, photopost has a rolling strip of thumbnails across the bottom. You can page through the pictures without leaving this screen, skipping ahead by a few pics if the thumbnails don't grab you. As opposed to "going up (back) a level" to continue browsing the same member. Is this already in but some kind of option? It's a show stopper for me. I will buy on the promise it's coming.
Currently something like this is not an option. An option for it may be added in a future release, but I can't make any promises as to when that will be.

4. Can this be run in parallel with an existing installation? Ie can I try it out and take the time to fiddle with the temples -using live data- yet still let the existing vb/photopost cook along until a final conversion? Looking for table/directory or admin conflicts that might arise. Would prefer this to setting up a completely separate test area. Get the community involved in what it looks like.
Yes, it can be set up without affecting PhotoPost in any way and your members would not know it was there unless you gave them a link.

5. How are the post counts handled? The system differentiates between a picture post and a forum post?
Sorry, but I'm not following you on this one. Could you elaborate a little please?
