I've been looking into this, and it seems there's a problem due to a 
format change. It's important to know what version of Confluence you're 
dealing with.

It seems Confluence 3.x and earlier used Confluence Wiki Markup format  
for their pages. Beginning with 4.0, Atlassian  changed to the more 
expressive Confluence Storage Format. Unfortunately, for importing, they 
didn't add support for the new format. So:

- If you produce pages in Confluence Storage Format (the modified 
XHTML), you can't import them to Confluence.
- If you produce pages in Confluence Wiki Format and try to add them to 
Confluence 4.0 directly via API (as the sourceforge dita2wiki tool 
does), they will not be accepted because of the format change.

It should still be possible to produce pages in Confluence Wiki Format 
and upload them to Confluence 4.0  via the "Import pages from disk" 
feature.  For DITA users, this might involve unbundling a transform I 
assume is in the dita2wiki project, to support writing the output to 
local files instead of directly to Confluence.

I gather it's also possible to add Wiki Format pages via API and invoke 
Atlassian's own converter to change them to Confluence Storage Format, 
but no one in the sourceforge community has fully taken this on.
