ok. I tried this:

git-archimport kevin@desertsol.com--files/scripts--base kevin@desertsol.com--files/scripts--oco

and it always complains:

Cannot find patchset for 'kevin@desertsol.com--files/scripts--oco--0--patch-1' at /usr/bin/git-archimport line 784

I don't have any spaces or funny characters in filenames.
