When you import the collection from the command line does the process appear to finish correctly? Does it produce error messages? If you can't work out where the problem is from error messages it might be worth attempting to build some collections containing just a few of the .doc files at a time. In this way you should be able to work out which .doc file(s) are causing problems. If you send me one of the offending files I'll have a look and see if we can prevent the problem in future. regards, Stefan.
