Okay - after Asaf emailed me a copy of the CSV file he was using, I'm pretty
sure I figured out what the issue was: the file contained a "byte order
mark" at the beginning, indicating its encoding. This web page explains the
issue, as well as how to get rid of it:

<http://www.dotvoid.com/2010/04/detecting-utf-bom-byte-order-mark/>I'm
surprised this issue hasn't come up before, but in any case I just added
that basic code in to the Data Transfer code in SVN. Asaf - if you're using
SVN, I'd recommend doing an update and trying it again. Otherwise, just add
in the last change seen here into your code:
