I'll need to check, when I can, but if I remember correctly, on moving 
from a pre-wizard to the wizard version of the CSV plugin, it might be 
better not to use the old importer config file.  There are additional 
settings that exist in the new version.  If no existing file is found, a 
new one is created which includes additional parameters.
