It tries to write to a file named xwiki.log in the directory from where tomcat 
is started.

If you want to control the location of the log file, see

I've just tested import the default XAR in an empty xwiki and it worked fine. 
I've tried both in XE 2.4-SNAPSHOT and in XE 2.3 (the version you're using).

Can you give us the exact steps you've followed so that we can try to reproduce 
it?
