 * Hi all,
 * I’m trying to import 3000 + products into my website,
 * The first time I imported them, they all went into they’re respective categories
   however duplicate categories were created in many instances, these duplicates
   have subcategories and those subcategories also have subcategories, so its a 
   bit of a mess.
 * Also the products were evenly distributed among where they were supposed to be
   and the duplicate categories/subcategories which means deleting the duplicates
   sends all the products to uncategorised where I then have to sort everything 
   manually.
 * This is a pain so I tried deleting all categories that had duplicates, and the
   duplicated categories and all subcategories and products relating to these.
 * I made up a new CSV file and tried importing again;
 * There were some positives and 265 negatives, I only have 3 duplicated categories
   now, from this test specimen and about 20 duplicated subcategories, i have no
   duplicated products which is good.
 * However 265 products were designated uncategorised for no apparent reason.
 * Has anyone had this issue?
 * Any help would be massively appreciated.
 * Thanks.
 * Michael
