Try this:

Install the .09 update.
Redo the connection path to poser (even if it says it is right) and let vue restart.
Try to open a pz3 scene file you could not open with this update.
If it will NOT load, do this: Open your poser, open the same scene file, and RE-SAVE IT!
Now go back to vue, and try to import it again! I BET it will work!

I spent the whole evening first being brave to finally update, then getting really angry that it broke my poser import and after that I could not copy back my vue 5.7 application, vue would still not open...then I deleted the entire vue folder, restarted my machine and THEN I copied my back up of vue 5.7 back in to the e-on folder in Program files....It worked! It opened up fine with no reinstall!!!

BUT my import was STILL BROKEN from the .09 (even though vue tried to roll itself back..it was a MESS!).... but I had A FLASH ...AN EPIPHANY!! ... I went to poser, re-saved the pz3, and just like that vue 5.7 imported the pz3 fine...

SO I thought... I bet THAT is the glitch with the update! I BRAVELY UPDATED AGAIN and went through the same thing...any pz3 that would not import, I went back to poser, re-saved the file and it imported fine!!!! HA!!

I am very interested to know if this "fix" works for those of you who had this same problem - of the .09 patch refusing to import poser pz3's.

Now, I still have to tell vue 5.9 where the first texture in a poser character is, IN A 5.7 vue saved scene file, but then it asks if I want to use all the poser path ones and I say yes...and all is well.

NEXT I reinstalled the Cornucopia items I had bought and brought them all in, just fine...played with my sci fi trees, etc...and also made sure my original "extra vegetation" worked... It all did.

NEXT I put a terrain and loaded the DEFAULT VUE GRASS...and the scale was the "correct 30" in stead of 100. How cool is that? :)

Now I am all set! :) I can buy the one neato tree at the store I have been wanting... This whole set of issues had me wanting to go back to Bryce....which I will be reinstalling and buying the DAZ Bryce content, but NOW with the CURE I found for vue, I will have both landscape programs! Wheeeee!!

And yes, I will post this at the store forum and at the e-on tech forum...if anyone there cares to study my fix... or maybe if it works for all who had trouble they can post the how to fix in the knowledge base. Let me know, folks if it works for you too...I would be so happy if I have been able to contribute something!
