Well, i played with this again today and noticed another couple of issues:

1. a custom user title was imported as: $this_title
2. Timezone offsets are imported as -tz.00 (example; -8.00, -7.00, etc)
3. categories arne't sorted properly, they're imported as 0.

Also, on import, do we really need "General Category" added as well?
