I usually move the code into a separate interchange page and test the 
imports there first.  Then you can eliminate a lot of variables before 
you move it into log_transactions file.   For instance, in a page named 
test.html you could put  (not tested)


[tmp test_order_number]1234[/tmp]

[import table=order_info]
   order_number: [scratch test_order_number]
[/import]

Once you get a basic import working you can then add the loop and try 
blocks around it and see what happens.  Then, moving it into 
log_transactions should be fairly painless.

That's just the way I do things, YMMV.
