Dan,
  In case you're still struggling 1 week later, have you thoroughly 
read this helpful page? :

http://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/version/2.0-2.1

I strongly suggest get the 2.1.4 site thoroughly working before 
expecting any joy with the 2.1.4->2.5.3 migration.

Common problems include out of date customisations that need 
recustomising, 3rd-party products that don't play well with the next 
version of Plone.

Other than that, unfortunately the best thing is to use the debugger to 
find out why its throwing that attribute error. Google "debug zope". 
Debugging is intimidating at first but a valuable learning experience. :-)

Regards,
Nick
