Here's what I did:

I created a nations.txt file with the US set to 100% American names (code 0). That was the only change from the original. I started a league with that and then closed the game. I used the importer and it seemed to work, but I couldn't tell because there were no changes in the nations.txt file. It did make the backup files.

Then I restored the original nations.txt and tried to import it using this utility. That's when the error happens. It doesn't make the backup files or make any changes.

Any ideas?

OK. I'll drop you a PM with my email address. The game wasn't open when you tried the second import - I've noticed something that if you create a new game it doesn't always close the original game until you start the new one. I either shut down OOTP or load up another game whilst fiddling with .dats
