Importing to Refworks

I spent a good bit of time today reviewing the Zotero screencasts and forums. The more I learned about it the more I liked it. I imported the Zotero files I tagged as "Digital Libraries" into Refworks using RIS. No trouble. The importing went pretty smoothly. Since it didn't take too long I decided to revist my del.icio.us imports. I was unhappy with the RSS import I did the other day so I looked over the site again but was not enlightened any more than before. Then I looked at the tutorial Dr. Tomer did on "RefGrab-It" and decided to try it with the delicious bookmarks. I liked using RefGrab-It, although it doesn't seem to pick up author information except from Wikipedia!
Anyway I imported all the bookmarks again using RefGrab-It" and was satisfied except for the author omission. Using RSS, it showed my login name as the author for each item and I found that unacceptable.
