[Koha] Bulk import complains about invalid library location

[Peter Korsten]

Hi,

First message on this list. My company is installing a Koha installation
for a customer, and I've been graced with the task. Everything is working,
pretty well, but when I attempt to import MARC records, Koha won't add
items, only bibliographic records. From the command line:

# bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -b -file ~ILS-VM-User01/cbom.mrc -d
deleting biblios

However, these branches exist. In MySQL:

mysql> select branchcode, branchname, marcorgcode from branches;
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| branchcode | branchname      | marcorgcode     |
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| ARC        | Archives        | Archives        |
| LIB        | Library         | Library         |
| MAIN       | System Location | System Location |
+------------+-----------------+-----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

So now I'm confused. Google is usually my friend, but not in this case. I
haven't yet added part of the MARC/MARCXML file (there are over 1200 items
in there), but I can if necessary.

Thanks,
