 * Adding the “NULL” did the trick thanks! Also – csv re-formatting date to MM/DD/
   YYYY was an issue – so just saving csv with date formatted as YYYY-DD-MM and 
   leaving csv open as I import works just fine.
 * Probably will write a function to just re-format date after import and re-save
   meta.
 * Thanks for all the help!

 * No, I’ve kept the same date in both fields. I’m supplying the values for the 
   following keys:
 * post_author | post_title | post_type | post_status | event_all_day | event_start_date
   | event_end_date | short_title | xo_event_cat
 * The import creates the custom posts and shows the custom fields populated with
   the correct data.
 * The issue – I have a category specific shortcode calendar on each “tour” page.
   These calendars do not display the associated events unless I go into each imported
   event and manually click the update post button.

 * I’m trying to make it easy for a client to update all of their arrival dates 
   for tours they offer, editing xml would beyond frustrate them.
 * Besides – wouldn’t any post that existed just be skipped by WordPress stadard
   import?
 * I used simple csv/xml export plugin – which did a pretty good of showing me keys
   and a quick comparison in the database confirmed they’re correct.
 * I used Ultimate importer pro (for custom fields) to import. And it does create
   new events and updates the meta – but the meta data doesn’t display on the calendars…
 * So I’m assuming there must be additional hidden fields/data, or something different
   when gets submitted when clicking the update post button when editing in a post.
 * Does that make sense?
 * I mean, I have no issue doing the initial import via xml – but my client will
   definitely want to update the dates via a csv file.
 * Thank you for the quick responnse!
