Upgrade StorageImport from Reference Manager into Zotero
The problems reported also by others during database import from RefMan are due to an improper RIS format file exported by Reference manager.
I have figured that some field tags contain only one space between field code and dash where two spaces are required. (See wikipedia for RIS format files.)
This can be resolved by searching and replacing these codes,
e.g. search for <PN -> and replace by <PN -> in a plain text editor. There are a few of these codes wrong.
italics and other format codes from refman are then imported but not translated and show up as strange characters in zotero.

"search for <PN<space>-> and replace by <PN<space><space>->")
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/RIS.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).
It should start working for you. Let me know how it goes.
