Niels,

Perhaps I do not understand the documentation but I
assumed you could run COPY into multiple times on a
single table.  

I am able to run COPY INTO <table> once on an empty
table.  If I run COPY INTO <table> again on a
non-empty table I receive the error
(!MALException:batmtime.EQ:Unexpected input type).  I
can choose any single input file and it will load
properly into an empty table.

I did try combining all of my input files and running
that way but after 36 hours I killed the load.
