As pmario points out there is a problem with browsers tightening
security holes that TiddlyWiki previous made use of to do ajax. This
means that TiddlyWiki's import functionality is experiencing some
problems on the latest browsers.

As you can see here:
https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/tiddlywiki/issues/38
https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/tiddlywiki/pull/49

there is activity trying to get this issue solved and any insight any
javascript guys can give would help a lot!

It's unclear what browser you are using but this matters.

The current state of affairs...
In Firefox 5, you can import from
* a file in the same directory
* a url which is CORs enabled

In Chrome you can import from
* a url which is CORs enabled
* a file IF you open the file and pass --allow-file-access-from-files
in the command line
