Alexandre,

thanks for reporting this!

The import actually works - the problem is the updating of the fields
in the Preferences window. Clicking OK stores the not-updated values,
undoing the import. If you use the "--primp <filename>" command lines
option when launching JabRef you'll get the key patterns imported
properly.

I will take care of the update problem for the next release.
