Oops, forgot to implement parsing of dates.

Will be fixed in node_import-6.x-1.0-rc3.

I also have this problem. There's 2,900 records waiting for me to import them with nice dates. When will rc3 be out ?

I just updated to the dev version and it works perfectly. Be sure to install the Date API module as stated in the cvs message from Dec 16th give more information:

#347423 by robrechtj : implemented node_import_check_date(). You will need
to install "Date API" module from http://drupal.org/project/date to parse
dates. Thanks drewmcginty.

-rc3 will be released Sunday and will indeed include the Date format issue. I'll try to add some more things (simple CCK fields), but I'm away from how right now.

so this is this a Date addon issue or a Node Import issue?
