Not related to the issues you're having, but I think it's worth mentioning: you should use the batch insert (or update) feature. By doing this, you'll get better performance than just inserting the items one by one. There is a request-size limitation, but I think the recommended size is between 50 and 100 items per batch.
When doing a batch request, you'll get a batch response, containing an entry for each action in the batch request. The entry tells you if the insert was successful or not (and the errors). So you can still keep track of what items failed the insert.
