It seems the subfields in question are 952 a and b. I had them firstly
populated with the code of a previous test library, and then today
with the name, not the code (stupidly used abbreviation for my test
library name that was similar to but not equal to the code.)

So now I have working marc import, complete with items!

Next challenge is to do that in bulk, but at least I know what I'm doing now.

Thanks again for pointing me to the right places, and sorry again for
solving my problem shortly after posting it!
