Is there any reason why importing repos from command line won't work?

Is there any reason why importing repos from command line won't work?

Created by: trusktr

I'm trying to do what it says here: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/wiki/Import-existing-repositories-into-GitLab

It worked for one repository, then I copied a whole bunch over, then when I tried bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production the second it wouldn't import any repos.

The output isn't useful, only showing that it skipped existing repos:

┌─[16:12:44/hypership/git//usr/share/webapps/gitlab]
└─╼ bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production

Done!

It doesn't show any output regarding the new repositories that I've pasted. I've triple checked that the repos are owned by the git user (i'm using git instead of gitlab) and that the permission allow for git to read/write all files.

Are there any specific reasons why import might now work?
