  I'm having trouble bulk loading patrons files into Koha 3.2.  I used 
the same file I used in 3.1 with no success, so I did one manually, and 
then set everything to match that.  I got the same errors in 3.2. both 
times:
In the staff client, I get that the record was " not imported because 
they are not in the expected format" and then
Critical field "surname" missing (borrowernumber: UNDEF; surname: UNDEF).
I have headerrow  copied from the "Import Patrons" page:
  'surname', 'firstname', 'title', 'othernames', 'initials', 
'streetnumber', 'streettype', 'address', 'address2', 'city', 'zipcode', 
'country', 'email', 'phone', 'mobile', 'fax', 'emailpro', 'phonepro', 
'B_streetnumber', 'B_streettype', 'B_address', 'B_address2', 'B_city', 
'B_zipcode', 'B_country', 'B_email', 'B_phone', 'dateofbirth', 
'branchcode', 'categorycode', 'dateenrolled', 'dateexpiry', 
'gonenoaddress', 'lost', 'debarred', 'contactname', 'contactfirstname', 
'contacttitle', 'guarantorid', 'borrowernotes', 'relationship', 
'ethnicity', 'ethnotes', 'sex', 'password', 'flags', 'userid', 
'opacnote', 'contactnote', 'sort1', 'sort2', 'altcontactfirstname', 
'altcontactsurname', 'altcontactaddress1', 'altcontactaddress2', 
'altcontactaddress3', 'altcontactzipcode', 'altcontactcountry', 
'altcontactphone', 'smsalertnumber', 'privacy', 'patron_attributes'
My record is:
'Crawford', 'Taz', '', 'Tazmo', '', '', '', '150 Our Street', '', 'Yazoo 
City, MS', '39194', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 
'', '', '', '', 'DAH', '01', '11/05/2010', '11/05/2011', '', '', '', '', 
'', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'Tazmo', '', '11111', '', '', '', '', 
'', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '1', 'CountyCode:yz,PhotoID:Tx VetId 
0042201,StateCode:01'

In the /var/log/koha/koha-error_log
[Fri Nov 05 09:56:43 2010] [error] [client 10.8.5.33] [Fri Nov  5

http://koha.mdah.state.ms.us:8080/cgi-bin/koha/tools/import_borrowers.pl

So I looked at import_borrowers.pl and those lines are
122     foreach my $keycol (@csvcolumns) {
123         # columnkeys don't contain whitespace, but some stupid tools 
add it
124         $keycol =~ s/ +//g;
125         $csvkeycol{$keycol} = $col++;
126     }
127     #warn($borrowerline);
128     my $ext_preserve = $input->param('ext_preserve') || 0;
129     if ($extended) {
130         $matchpoint_attr_type = 
C4::Members::AttributeTypes->fetch($matchpoint);
131     }
132
133     push @feedback, {feedback=>1, name=>'headerrow', value=>join(', 
', @csvcolumns)};

Any help would be appreciated.
