loadtable.rb doesn't care about file content; it just moves files and updates .META.
You sure you did the partitioning correctly? Not seeing anything would come of incorrectly done partitioner. There may also have been a bug in partitioner around this time. Can you move to 0.90.0? Bulk uploader is much improved there (It was rewritten between 0.20.6 and 0.90.0 and the new implementation has been given a much better airing).
