Thanks Claudia and Dorothea! I got it to work now. It was the directory structure that I was messing up on. The imported submissions all show up now.
Is creating the contents and dublin_core.xml files manually to upload the documents the bestway to do mass importing? We have a lot of documents to import and were wondering if other people use the same method to do the importing. I wonder if there's more automated way of doing the importing... Thanks!
