This is because your import program becomes a special member of cassandra
cluster to be able to speak internal protocol. And each memboer of cassandra
cluster must have its own IP.

Did you defined -Dstorage-config for your import program to point to the same
configuration your normal cassandra nodes use ? 

Did you initialized client-mode storage service, like below ?
        // init cassandra proxy
        try
        {
            StorageService.instance.initClient();
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
        try
        {
            Thread.sleep(10*1000);
        }
        catch (InterruptedException e)
        {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
