You don't see any pending imports because each time the import claims to complete successfully, as I said originally. I've run the import several times, and each time the result is: "Your WordPress import was successful."
It doesn't say what it did, though. It would be so helpful if it said something like:
Found 112 posts, they are now published.
or
Found 112 posts,
105 are now pending and you can publish them in the dashboard.
7 posts could not be imported, details are below.
I'll try again.
