I had a similar problem when trying to import data from an access exported dbf file. The only way that I got it to work was...
1) Export the file to a delimited text file
2) Change the fields in my file to char(binary)
3) Then import the data

p.s. double check your field lengths when you change them to char(binary). It defaults back to 4.
