[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Error messages during dev import

Fri Aug 14 21:11:08 EDT 2015

1) v1.3.0 -- we have the latest version on this server as we want the most
up-to-date changes for importing our legacy finding aids.
2) Berkeley Library server -- this is our dev instance. MySQL database.
3) We usually import into our dev machines. We can test with the
ArchivesSpace sandbox -- is that what the next step would be?

What is the solution if we have a problem with our instance but you don't
with yours?  Just wondering what the next steps for us are.
