zabbix 2.0 api configuration import error

[billb]

Hi
I am trying to import a template from one exported through the UI. If I import it through the UI it works perfectly. Using the API I get the error:

jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32500,"message":"Application error.","data":""},"id":1


This is how I am trying to import:

I have figured out the error:

The xml I export starts with <?xmlversion=\"1.0\"encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>

wheras I need to comment this out somehow to:

<!--?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?-->


Any ideas why I cannot use the configuration import with the first xml version?
