When I initially installed this module there was no support for user reference fields. I added this snippet to the submit function in the module file around line 49 to get it working:

if($result){
    if($result['type'] == 'nodereference'){
                    $node->$key = array(array('nid' => $value));
    }
 // Add this to provide functionality with user reference fields.
   else if($result['type'] == 'userreference'){
                    $node->$key = array(array('uid' => $value));
   }
