[Koha] importing authorities

[Nicole Engard]

You all rock and helped me with the content to write an awesome
tutorial for others!!

Now - for some reason I keep getting that 0 records are importing.
I'm going to the LOC site (authorities.loc.gov) and exporting a record
from there - I tried in both MARC formats listed - so now I'm up for
suggestions on how to get an authority record or two to import :)
