Hi all,

getting this error when trying to import into a 5.1.4 server running on latest Mac OS with latest java. Any ideas?

I have imported about 10 times earlier and it has worked fine.

Does it still happen after a restart? Do you see the solutions in the list from admin page ?(the old release(s) of the solutions)
