I'd download the ruby code and generate the OSM files directly from the
TIGER data. I'd be happy to help you get running with this if you need
help.
Basically, get this:
http://sr71.net/~dave/osm/tiger/tiger-to-osm-v0.7.tar.gz
and run 'sh tiger-zip-to-osm [optional regex]'. It'll start downloading
TIGER data from the census bureau generating the .osm files.
