Cracked it!

For future reference:

1. add this to mame.ini

pluginspath          $HOME/plugins
plugins                 1
plugin                   hiscore
noplugin

2. download the latest mame and copy the plugins folder to your $HOME directory

3. place all your old .hi files into the hiscore folder

4. job done
