You shouldn't have the --cache=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache there.
Merlin will append that for itself, along with a bunch of other options.
It's possible that the import program is bugging out because it's getting
the --cache= argument twice (though it shouldn't do that iirc).

Thanks. I appreciate it. The bugfix *shouldn't* matter for this though,
but more testing is always good.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
