[Koha] Having problem using UNIMARC in Z39.50 target

[Chris Cormack]

You can't mix UNIMARC and MARC21 in one Koha. It sounds like you are trying to load a UNIMARC record into a MARC21 framework.

Koha can't do that conversion for you (in fact nothing can in a lossless way yet)

Does this sound like what is happening?
