 * I imagine you downloaded the export file more than once and did more than one
   attempt to import… just in case…
 * Open the exported XML file in a [good text/code editor](http://notepad-plus-plus.org/).
   
   Search for the images names, see if the URL is ok. Paste it in the browser to
   check.
 * The failing tag seems more difficult. Search for `wp:tag_slug` and look for weird
   characters.
