When I try to import an exported vocabulary, I get this message:

Declared vocab ID:17 does NOT yet exist. Need to make a new one, (cannot retain the internal IDs)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yeah, well, the old Drupal XML format has these issues (among others).
Retaining IDs is mostly possible for Terms, but I don't recall the ID for vocabs (vid) being portable. Hm.

However, when you get that message, doesn't it make the vocab like it says it will? ... Hm, and then each term item will try to attach itself to ... the new or old vocab ID? :-/
Tell you what, just turn off 'retain ids' in the settings. It's not been tested or supported for two years.
