There turned out to be various problems with both the script and the  
application. The observations are being added by the script, but not  
associated sessions, so the observations are not visible in the  
Observation window. This can be resolved by going to the Observation  
preferences and using the button to rebuild the sessions. This problem  
has been fixed in the script (uploaded).

Another problem is with displaying the correct numbers in the Obs  
column. This is a bug in the app. You can get around this by going to  
the Observation preferences and using the button to rebuild the Cross- 
indices. This has been fixed for 2.0b46.

There's another problem that hasn't been addressed (yet), and that's  
what happens if you run the script on the same import file? Currently  
you'll get duplicate observations being imported. What I should do is  
change the script to see if an observation already exists, and ignore  
it where necessary (i.e. don't add a duplicate). This is tricky, based  
on your sample import file. However, I suppose I should add it to the  
script as a fail-safe.

My suggestion to you is to wait for 2.0b46 before running the script.  
However, your database is probably already riddled with duplicate  
observations. You might want to do the session trick mentioned in the  
first paragraph above, and do some weeding.
