WordPress import not importing custom taxonomy

I've posted this already in the WP Support Forum hoping to have more luck here.

I'm trying to import a custom post type from one blog to another. (126 posts in the custom post type).

I've exported using WordPress' export function from WP version 3.3.2 and trying to import into 3.2.1.

I can get all the posts to import into the correct custom post type, but none of my custom taxonomy or meta information is being imported in.

In both WPs I have the exact same name for each of my custom post types and taxonomies, I literally copied/pasted my functions.php over.

Any idea why my import is adding all posts of my custom post type but not my custom taxonomy? Am I missing a step somewhere?

I belive you exporting custom content right? If yes, you will fail to import any taxonomy (tag or category or whatever)...

in your export file not exists wp:terms items which is responsible for terms import. bug? perhaps.

what you can do without big or small code changes (i did reasearch this particular tsk) you can export full blog. copy that you want to see in other blog. paste it to same place of custom post type export file and import it again...

at least this will help you to import all terms of assigned category.
