Forget it. Your item barcode issue doesn't come from that.

If CDS/ISIS doesn't allow you to export MARC records in the appropriate 
format, you need to :

   1. export you records from CDS/ISIS
   2. convert them from CDS/ISIS format to Koha format
   3. import the previous records into Koha

Depending on your skills, step 2 can be accomplished by several means:

    * A Perl script using MARC library: http://marcpm.sourceforge.net/
    * using MarcEdit: http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/
