Description
I tried to incorporate attachments as part of my import and got the following error message:
Can not import this node. Check following errors:
* File attachment /files/filename.pdf not found. You need to upload it to files first.
I have the file uploaded to the site and even changed it over to the full URL (http://mysitename/files/filename) to no avail. Saw something to this effect for 4.7 (http://drupal.org/node/121282). I'm running 5.7 with the Node Import 1.6.
Any suggestions?

Does this help?
Upload (attachments) support
****************************
Added support for upload module.
* Only one attachment can be specified.
* You need to upload the file to files/ before doing the import.
* The content of the column you map to Upload: File attachments must
be the filename relative to files/ (or whatever you set the file
directory path to).
For example:
* Upload file1.txt to files/
* Import a CSV file like:
"Title","Body","File"
"The title", "The body", "file1.txt"
* Map the Title column to the Title field, the Body column to the Body
field and the File column to the Upload: File attachments field.

OK. I messed up by including "files/" in the path. I removed it and I no longer get the error message. The import proceeds and I am able to create the nodes with a title and body, but no link to the file.

I am having trouble importing files as well. My CCK imagefield works fine, and is relative to /files/images, but when I try to upload to a "PDF" field (type: file field), I get no errors, but nothing shows up under my node page or under node/edit indicating that there is an attachment.
