The "I" means that it is being ignored.  "core" is on the default ignore
list because that's the name traditionally used on Unix for core dumps. 
If you really want to import something named core, you'll have to use
the -I option to import to override the default ignore list:

Please provide more details.  You can use the -W option to import to
specify filename patterns that are to be treated as binary:
