Hi Ricardo,
Before performing an Import, DSpace will attempt to create the directory
defined by the "org.dspace.app.batchitemimport.work.dir" configuration,
which is in your dspace.cfg and defaults
to "${dspace.dir}/imports":
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L904
If DSpace is unable to create that directory (or the directory just doesn't
exist), then it will throw that error which says:
"[full-directory-path] as defined by
key 'org.dspace.app.batchitemimport.work.dir' in dspace.cfg is not a valid
directory"
So, the first step to solving this issue is to make sure that directory
*exists* on your system, or verify that the Tomcat user has permissions to
create this directory (if they do not, then DSpace cannot create this on
your behalf).
If that doesn't help, then we may need more information about your setup
(especially the version of DSpace you are running). It is possible that
you are also encountering a bug in an older release.
