Hrafn,
The following presentation outlines an approach that I took to bulk ingest.
http://or2013.net/sessions/focus-your-content-not-ingesting-your-content
This approach describes a set of tools for building DSpace ingest folders
on the desktop and then using the DSpace Item Import utility to perform the
ingest on the server.
If this looks useful to you, I will be glad to answer any questions that
you have.
