Add an output file to your Import command line and you will most likely see
what the problem is. One of the problems I've had is that the Import ends
quickly if the mapfile you're trying to write to, already exists, however you
won't know this unless you've added an output file to your command line.
Here is an example:
./dsrun org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport --add
--eperson=email_addr...@nasa.gov --collection=2121/49053
--source=/export/home/dspace/import/books
--mapfile=techreports-docs/20071203_books.map >
techreports-docs/20071203_books.out
If it's something else that's going wrong, hopefully you'll see this in the
output file as well.
Good luck,
Sue

Hi Mark,
we've migrated (mostly ETD's) from a Hyperwave repository to DSpace with
the itemimport.
What is the precise command you're running, especially the -s source
directory you're referring to?
The source directory must contain one directory per item, but even with
a one item import you still point to the parent directory. My guess is
your -s is wrong or you're running in test mode.
TDL provided a good description of the item importer:
http://www.tdl.org/documents/DSpaceBatchImportFormat.pdf
As for crosswalks and plugins, see
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/CrosswalkPlugins
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/PackagerPlugins
Hope that helps
Claudia Jürgen
