OOo 2.4, Ubuntu x86_64

I have a bibliography created in Tellico. Tellico is a cool little app
for managing book collections. The neat part about it is that all you
need to enter is the ISBN number, then click to Update the entry.
Tellico goes out on the net and searches Amazon and several other
online databases, finds the book, and retrieves all the information
about it online, even an image of the front cover, if available. This
saves an enormous amount of typing.

I want to be able to merge selected entries into a bibliography in a
Writer document. From Tellico I can export in various formats,
including xml, html, zip, csv, pilotdb, bibtex, bibtexml, and onix. So
far I have tried xml and csv, but can't get either one registered with
Base. Let me explain in more detail, using my experience with csv as an
example.

I opened Base and checked "Connect to an existing database," and
selected "text" in the drop-down box. In the next window I entered the
path to the .csv file and checked the radio button for "'Comma
separated value' files." In the next window I left the default items
checked: "Yes, register the database for me" and "Open the database for
editing." When I clicked on Finish it opened a window showing the
folder that I specified in the first step, but no files appear in the
window. There is a spinbox that says "ODF Database," but when I select
it that is the only option. It should list all the database types,
including csv, but it does not. Since I cannot tell it to look for .csv
files it displays no files in the window. The file is definitely there
- tellico_bibliography.csv - it's just the Base can't see it.

What am I doing wrong?
