Any insights on how to get more details?

I tried the -v option but didn't get any more info.

I would first check the subject mapping. Make sure the fields it refers to in the CSV are present.

Would you be able to share some form of the mappings so we may suggest what else to check?

A note for posterity. The root cause was the existence of a byte order mark in the CSV file exported from Excel. We have created issue #8732 and will fix this in an upcoming release.
