When setting this module up, when you go to /admin/settings/plupload-bulk, you must actually save the settings, even though the drop-down menu may look like you have the right field selected.

If you fail to press the save settings button, downloading seems to work, but nodes will never get created, and it can be hard to find out why. The graphic UI will not tell you what's wrong, it'll just show you this exclamation point icon and Apache will only give you this kind of obscure message: "PHP Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in ... plupload/plupload.module..."

In my opinion, it could be helpful that the settings page informed the user by saying something like "the field has not been selected" before a field has actually been selected.

Yes, I agree with that. It tries to get the filefield from $plupload_import_field_type = variable_get('plupload_import_field_type', 'photo:::field_photo'); but there is no filefield attached to the variable. I've created a patch which gives a warning message to choose a filefield from plupload admin settings page.
