Tom, Does chirp have some kind of dialog during csv that attempts to read the csv column headers, and give the user an opportunity to map them to known chirp headers, if they are not in the expected chirp format?

Not all CSV files are created equal! CSV is just an encoding scheme. Unless the column labels are the ones Chirp looks for and the data matches the format Chirp expects, the fields won't populate.
Chirps CSV reader is pretty flexible. I've given it hints at how to decode CSV files generated in other software, like RT Systems VX5 software, Kenwood HMK and ITM formats (these are both csv internally, even though they don't end in .csv).
Send me your CSV file and I'll see if I can trick Chirp into decoding it for you.
