I have nodes with a number (around 30) of multi-value content taxonomy fields that all point to the same vocabulary.

The core upgrade to D7 combines all these fields into a single term reference field. The Migrate Fields module re-creates the fields properly, but does not populate them.

So I figured I would just have to do a manual export/import of the affected nodes. No big deal.

First I tried the Node Export module (plus Feeds), but it isn't working properly between D6 and D7:
http://drupal.org/node/1321940
http://drupal.org/node/1314618

Then I tried to use the Views Data Export module to create a CSV file I could import via Feeds. Unfortunately, Views Data Export concatenates the multi-value fields which prevents them from getting parsed correctly by the Feeds import (even using Feeds Tamper):
http://drupal.org/node/1102298
http://drupal.org/node/1060146

Then I ran out of ideas.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish this migration short of manually re-entering all the data.

Thanks in advance.

thanks for this. I was going to do the same thing :(

could views data export be used to export xml version and use the feeds xml to import instead of csv?

i have cleaned everything :
uninstalled every module which gave me an error message during my previous upgrades,
also desactivated [not uninstalled] every 6.x module and droped their files before the upgrade,
checked some nodes and taxonomy data : no null or negative data at a wrong place,
checked and changed D6 fields not available in D7 (CCK),
updated.php very often,

and it worked !?!?!?

I have similar issues, using Views Data Export from D6 and importing via feeds (XML) into new D7 site. But any multi value field is causing me problems - taxonomy fields as per above, but also image fields with multiple images.
Corbin, you advised you got things working - can you descibe the export/import method you are using? Or are you just updating in place? Any clues might help. Thanks.
