I'm glad you have found a workaround. I would be interested in digging deeper at what went wrong with the cvs import though. Can you retry a cvs import and check what appears in the trace file [1] ?
Alternatively can you try to reduce your 100 transaction csv file further in search of a particular transaction that doesn't work ? You can do so by repeatedly cutting your file in half and continue with the half (or halves) that doesn't (don't) work.
