So like a moron i didnt back up my site prior to upgrading the blog module to what i thought was the latest stable version. 06.01.02 

i now cannot import the xml file that i exported, this is the path i followed:

I decide to roll back to 6.00.5
exported content out to xml.
uninstalled 06.01.02 
installed 6.00.5
import xml fails. progress circle spins then stops.
uninstalled 6.00.5
reinstalled 06.01.02 
import xml
find folder & File in root
progress indicator circle spins then stops.
no error, resolves to import screen with files selected and xml displayed in preview window

are there specific settings that need to be enabled for successful import? any help/ideas  greatly appreciated,

thanks in advance
