[Blacklight-development] more little importer tricks

[Jonathan Rochkind]

Yeah, my stats says numDocs = 0. Guess the importer failed entirely.

And indeed rails/solr/data is empty. Okay, that settles it, importer 
failed. I'll try it with a different batch of data.  Maybe I still have 
Bess's larger sample set lying around that used to come with blacklight. 
I want to get it working with a known good data set, before I try with 
my own marc that will require some different marc field mappings to make 
any sense, and may also be completely broken in other ways, who knows.

If you have a chance (no hurry really), would appreciate you checking 
the sample script to make sure it does a commit and works for _anyone_. 
But I guess Jaron has used it succesfully?
