Drush node-import goes on endlessly with no warnings and no importing

Hey there,

I am running a Drupal 7 set on my local VM with one processor and 2gb of ram put aside for it and nothing else touching it. LAMP Stack, Ubuntu if it matters.

I am running drush, and I am using the following command:

drush node-export-import file=ambassadorexportlive2.json -v

It just goes endlessly and only outputs these two lines:

Initialized Drupal 7.22 root directory at /home/liquid/src/reef.dev-vm/htdocs                                [notice]
Initialized Drupal site default at sites/default                                                             [notice]

Any ideas? I'm completely stuck. Some details that may help:

1- Only dealing with about 24 or so nodes
2- No image files exported as base64 or anything. Just simple field data.
3- The site I am moving to has some of the images already from nodes, others not moved yet.
4- PHP memory limit set to -1. Unlimited on my local dev instance.

Can't think of anything else relevant.

This is my third issue with this module. It's proving to be quite frustrating :(
