When trying to migrate a Source Safe database to TFS2010 the VSSConverter tool exits with the following error:

TF60070: Unable to connect to the Team Foundation Server: 'http://ts01:8080/'. Please ensure that the Team Foundation Server exists and try again.

The Team Foundation Server exists but at http://ts01:8080/tfs (default installation) The VSSConverter tool is unable to access this location.

UPDATE!
There is a new configuration option in the TeamFoundationServer element to specify the collection to which the sourcesafe database should be merged. It's nowhere to be found in the documentation yet.
The solution is to add collection="tfs/DefaultCollection" to the TeamFoundationServer to specify which collection should be used.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We have actually added a new configuration setting that is undocumented in Beta2. We're tracking the documentation need, and will ensure that it is in RTM. In the meantime, check out this forum post for the proper syntax/workaround: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsprerelease/thread/f4066269-d6b9-4fe0-84a8-ffaf619f0dd4
