Views not created, and cannot import views code

Using Views 6.x-2.8

When I add an existing table, the table is added fine, but no view is created for it. When I "Export views definition for selected tables" and try to import a new view using the code it fails giving me "Unable to interpret view code."

Here is the code generated that I am trying to use as import code for Views:

$data = array();
$data['user_import'] = array(
'name' => array(
'title' => t('name'),
'help' => t('user_import.name'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
'allow empty' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
),
'mail' => array(
'title' => t('mail'),
'help' => t('user_import.mail'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
'allow empty' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
),
'fname' => array(
'title' => t('fname'),
'help' => t('user_import.fname'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
'allow empty' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
),
'lname' => array(
'title' => t('lname'),
'help' => t('user_import.lname'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
'allow empty' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
),
);
return $data;
