[Building Sakai] problems with importing RIS data into reading list

In Sakai, when using the Citations Helper to create a Reading List, and selecting the option "Import Reading List" (in RIS format from EndNote), the resulting Reading List is missing a lot of data. For example, items are labelled as "untitled", author names and dates are missing. There may be many other missing fields that are not imported from the RIS data.

The datafile appear to have the title field "TI" filled in correctly and either have authors given as "A1", "A2" or "AU" so why aren't they being picked up?

See attached  screen shots attached, showing the RIS data in a .txt file, and the resultant Reading List in Sakai.

is this the right place to solicit comments?
