The ill2svg.pl plugin to Inkscape only supports older PS-based Illustrator documents (before Illustrator 8 iirc). You may be trying to use it on a newer illustrator file, whose format is not supported in this version of Inkscape. Either try a newer version of Inkscape, or use Illustrator to export the SVG.
