I can't say exactly what's going on here, but you are doing the same 
thing that you are doing in the other post. A partial commit with a limit.

As far as the other problem with "no such file or directory", I'm not 
sure what the problem is.

Is there actually a file:
 /home/kop/work/babase/./conversion/txtdir/foodcodes.txt

Note, this is the actual file, not the inventory id. This type of error 
can occur when an inventory id exists, but there is no corresponding file.

It might also be possible that your precious regex is matching too much, 
and "foodcodes.txt" is being considered precious, but I doubt that.
