A parent directory requirement makes sense to me. If the library has a parent 
directory configured, that's prepopulated.

I just imported a filegate.zxx file, worked as expected. File looks like this:
Area FIDONEWS                             0     !      News
Area NODELIST                             0     !      Nodelists
Area NODEDIFF                             0     !      Nodelist changes (diffs)
