Questions about bulk import

We need to import several thousand ads to CP. We're attempting to reverse-engineer a WXR import file using a WXR export sample and found that it's missing category nodes for each <item>. We already tried the old category import nodes: <category>real estate for sale</category><category domain="category" nicename="real-estate-for-sale">real estate for sale</category> which didn't work.

In a similar vein, how would we go about importing image with the ads? The WXR export test showed each image as a separate item, linked to specific ads - rather than the other way around.

Is there a preferred way to import ads in bulk?
