Accepted answer
Apple's mbox files are non standard mbox files. Entourage cannot import these. Only Apple Mail can read these .mbox files.
The easiest way is to have Entourage simply import from Apple Mail. It's unclear what happened when you selected the import directly from Apple Mail.

Or you can go for application use. There are a lot of third party tools which deal in mail migration issues. One such application having expertise in migrating emails from apple mail to Entourage is Mail Exporter Pro

The post above from Tony is correct. Mbox files can't be imported to Entourage. These mail clients, though made to run on mac, are from different platforms. So compatibility issue arises in most of the systems. Have a look at some following threads, they might be helpful:-
