Kunena does not perform any of the user registration tasks like adding, changing or deleting user accounts. These functions are handled by Joomla. Other third-party extensions (like Community Builder and JomSocial) can assist these account maintenance functions (if you have them installed).
This is a very important point and it's one that probably causes some confusion. When you wrote
I feel that it was important we make the distinction between what Kunena does and what Joomla does.I was hoping that if I disabled the Joomla login/Registry system, so people could only register an account through Kunena, their details will be stored in the Kunena database.
Although the Kunena User Administration function allows you to administer certain functions that registered users have in your forum (such as forum "rank" or moderator privileges), the Kunena user table obtains these records from your Joomla user table. In other words, when a new user registers with your site a a Kunena record is created from their Joomla account. When a user is unregistered (i.e. deleted from the Joomla table) the corresponding record is also deleted from the Kunena table.
So, yes, you can disable the Joomla registration system. You can also disable the login function, too, but Kunena by itself won't accommodate those functions for you.

I think I will have to rethink what I'm going to do..I've already migrated the script across which is obviously all the Joomla content. I can export the Kunena tables at the last minute so I won't lose many posts. I don't suppose any way of updating a 1.5 database from a 1.0 platform?

In your case I would start the process rolling by establishing your new J! 1.5.x website. Even if the new site lacks the "bells and whistles" of your old site, you can begin by getting your users familiar with the new look-and-feel. Disable the user registrations on your old site and encourage your members to visit the new one. This will buy you some time to migrate the features (even if you don't necessarily employ the same component software that you originally used) from the old site to the new one.

I'll have to do a little bit more testing but it seems that the database from a 1.0 site is the same as the 1.5 site, if it wasn't, I would have got an error when importing.

Basically, the user tables will import perfectly okay. The (# jos_core_acl_aro
# jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map tables) are giving me trouble. Before I import them to the new site, I am emptying the tables. However a message is telling me that they already exist. I'm at a loss at the moment.

Got it working now. I ran a script that Sam provided in one of the threads. It seems that even though I was emptying the tables, they obviously weren't emptying properly although it was telling me they were empty. Anyway, his script obviously emptied them properly and verything went in just fine on all my new users are now showing up. At last!
