I used sketchup for a project recently and Im not impressed with its 
fileformat support for import or export. It would not surprise me at all 
if its a bug in sketchup that stops the file from importing. since 
sketchup wasnt even able to export an OBJ properly into Blender. (it 
screwed up its own mesh instances)

Iv also tried to debug this specific problem and managed to get a 
textured model into sketchup but it dosnt surprise me that support is flaky.

Im at the point now where I maintain too many scripts and would like 
some help from others in the community, I just dont have time to spend a 
day or two debugging some old undocumented format that works in 1 app 
but not another.

It is not efficient use of time and Id prefer we work on support for 
newer formats like collada. (even the sketchup variant)

Of course if others want to debug these spesific problems Ill review 
patches etc.
