Comment:

 WordPress.com exports posts with a tag of
 "<category domain="category"
 nicename="travel"><![CDATA[Travel]]></category>"

 This format isn't recognised by 3.0.1 wordpress. It needs the category in
 this format:
 "<category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category>"

 So the quick way to fix this is open the xml export file from
 wordpress.com in a global search and replace in your favourite word/text
 editor that can support wildcards. eg
 Just search for "<category*"> and replace it with "<category>" and then do
 the import into your wordpress.org blog.
