This is fixed in the patch from
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441093Could you check if that patch works for your iTunes database? If your
importer does something that the one from bgo#441093 doesn't do, I
would be interested in consolidating them.

This patch works :D
It works different than mine but it also solves some problems I hadn't dealt with yet. Mine had one advantage though: it scanned your computer for installed iTunes versions and then compares user names etc. to find an iTunes library. If none is found, CanImport returned false. Also the checkboxes wheter to import ratings etc. is unnecessary; why would you uncheck this while importing? So I think the entire dialog could be left out and the importer could be made more intelligent.
There is one remark: if the user completely switches to Banshee and uninstalls iTunes but backups his library file, my importer won't find it. This would only work if the user keeps his music in a separate folder.
The importer is great but it could be made a lot "smarter" so it requires less input from the user and just imports.
I am currently working on implementing that for the patch, but do you think it would be an improvement?
P.S is this included for 1.5?
P.P.S the Rythmbox importer still doesn't work, though I have used Rythmbox. In 1.4 it did work.
