Yep at present it fails to ingest xml files :-)

As a temporary fix I've added the following to perl_lib/EPrints/Sword/Utils.pm
It assumes that the metadata file is named mets.xml


        foreach(keys %$mimes)
        {
                if( $$mimes{$_} eq $mime_type && $_ =~ /mets.xml/ )
                {
                        push @candidates, $_;
                }
        }
