I am assuming that you have tried to run a file from bookwhere through
bulkmarcimport.pl and have success. But the same file will not import
via the staff-client marc import tool.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with BatchImport.pl. It does not appear to be
in the main Koha git repo.

Silent fails are particularly hard to troubleshoot and the
staff-client marc import tool fails silently.

One thing that will make it fail is if the branch code contained in
items attached to a bib is none existent. I believe the field is 952$a
in a default Koha installation.

There are several other bugs there as well. See here:

for a list of currently reported ones.

Kind Regards,
Chris
