Importing Goddreads CSV stops at 4% and reports file is unknown type and won't continue

Detailed description
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with whatever the newest distributed header updates are as of this writing. I am using Ruby
1.8 and Alexandria 6.6.

If I export an CSV file from goodreads and save it to my desktop and then go into alexandria and attempt to import the
library it fails at 4%

AHA! I discovered the "bug." Alexandria cannot import
a CSV
which contains any null ISBN entry.

E-books and Kindle editions are available to add on 
goodreads. These do not have ISBN numbers, consequently 
they cannot transfer.

This halts the entire file transfer and will not let it 
progress.
