It appears the test import of 1000 images has worked. I took advantage of the bulk media import php script provided on the mediawiki site, along with the required Snoopy Class (sourceforge project) requirements. More update will be provided when additional test is complete (metadata importation also).
This is the sample code provided on the bulk media import mediawiki site: [Additionally the flat required for the import is very simple to create with the aid of textwranger.]
