I have the same problem -- that I go to http://DOMAIN-NAME.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpress, select the 5.35meg XML file I exported from WordPress 2.1.2, and after 45 seconds, everything below "Import WordPress" disappears and there is no option to map fields or such, as others have to me **should** appear.
I've tried entirely **new** installs of WP2.1.2 each time I tried importing the file. I've created new MySQL databases to try the import. The wp-content and wp-content/uploads/ directories were manually chmod'd to 777. During install, they were automatically set to 755. Perhaps, if they need to be at 777, that's something that ought be looked at for future releases. Since March 12, when I exported the file, I've had **no** luck at getting the file to import, even after stopping in #wordpress to see if anyone had ideas. The issue is also discussed at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/97032, but it still is not resolved. Has ANYONE figured out how to fix the WordPress-to-WordPress import?

the default upload folder should exist /wp-content/upload/ and the importer should be defaulted to that folder to fix this problem, can someone do this so nobody else will have this error?
