i need to fix this asap...
I can only think of 2 options:
A. Try to get native importing working, e.g. work with dj_paige, try things differently... But if that fails and you need fix asap, then consider plan B...
B. Try Ottomanic Importer's "Import Folders and Files" feature - it requires no setup (unlike some of it's "fancier" features) and bypasses Lr's normal importing mechanism - in case that's where the trouble is rooted. Not pushing my (or anybody else's) plugins, but if you need photos in Lightroom and they're not coming in via the normal method, it might solve your problem for the short term, or it might not - depends on what the problem is, which nobody knows, yet. But even if it fails, it can give you a blow-by-blow report of what happened, and may help isolate the problem..
UPDATE: 3rd option - try the newest or an older version of Lightroom..
