For the record:

Please see

,----[ http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cms.opencms.devel/17201 ]
| If you want to import a large number of files 1:1 into OpenCms (i.e. 
| they must be imported unchanged), I would never try to use the DB- 
| Import feature and start to modify the manifest.xml by hand.

| Take a look at the synchronization feature, with this one you can 
| synchronize a folder in your server filesystem with a folder of the 
| OpenCms VFS. I think this is much easier to do this way.

Of course Michael's suggestion is right, 
I totally forgot about this feature.
