Import has no -P or -r commands.

Import creates directories in local mode but not in client/server.. doesn't 
look like it ever did.  The documentation is probably correct for that example 
(since all the examples use local mode), but in client/server the directories 
are never even sent to the server to process.. there's not even anything in 
the protocol that would allow such a thing.
