When you use form_for_model, the deafult import_formats argument that
gets used does not include '%d/%m/%Y'. It is expecting '%m/%d/%Y'
among other things.
The most straightforward solution would be to create a custom form
class instead of using form_for_model. There are a couple of other
options, but they're a little tricky if you aren't familiar with
Django's internals. Look at the docsting and code for form_for_model
for clues on the other 2 options and feel free to ask questions if it
doesn't make sense.
