I am not sure what you mean by "all these things".
Your first problem occured because the gsch2pcb script places all of
the components
on top of each other. It would be nice if the script spaced the components out
but you now know how to deal with that issue.
Your second problem occured because you were not familiar with the
reference designator syntax that PCB requires. If you follow the
outline I posted you should be OK.
You now should be able to proceed with your layout. Here are a couple of things
to be careful of ---
1. Verify that the footprints you choose meet the manufacturer's
package specification
for the components you are using. Usually each component datasheet
contains a
recommended footprint.
2. Set the DRC rules to match the PCB vendor that you plan on using and
run the DRC *frequently* as you are doing your board. It is much easier to
fix the errors as you go than to end up with a huge list (which can
be quite discouraging).
3. Always check the Gerber files prior to sending them to the PCB
vendor. I use gerbv to do this.
