Thanks for reporting this. We already noticed this in bug 666202.
It is probably caused by importing the same feeds again.
Actually, why do you want it to succeed? What should be the outcome? Having 2 identical feeds? Or should the imported file replace all the existing feeds (so delete ALL and import)?
