[Koha] Data being stored in incorrect fields

[Stephen Hedges]

I didn't really look too closely (someone else found this solution), but I
do know that Koha does many crazy things if item types aren't handled
carefully.  I don't think we can emphasize too much that the _first_ thing
folks need to do on the admin page is set up their item types!
