foreach of my errors

Hi
Just testing this module.
Fresh install of Drupal 5.7, enabled 'blog' module, installed latest version of 'Wordpress Import' and exported my wp-blog xml file.
In an editor [eclipse] my wp-blog xml file states its format <-- This is a Wordpress Extended RSS file ..... etc --> although it originally downloaded as .xml not .wxr .
When uploading the file through the module i get the following error:

* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/druwp/sites/all/modules/wordpress_import/wordpress_import.module on line 761.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/druwp/sites/all/modules/wordpress_import/wordpress_import.module on line 117.

as shown in first image attached, and on ignoring the error and continuing to next page i get the follwoing error:

* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/druwp/sites/all/modules/wordpress_import/wordpress_import.module on line 761.
* warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/druwp/sites/all/modules/wordpress_import/wordpress_import.module on line 117.
