I'm glad you have found a workaround.

I would be interested in digging deeper at what went wrong with the cvs import 
though. Can you retry a cvs import and check what appears in the trace file 
[1] ?

Alternatively can you try to reduce your 100 transaction csv file further in 
search of a particular transaction that doesn't work ?
You can do so by repeatedly cutting your file in half and continue with the 
half (or halves) that doesn't (don't) work.
