RQM Excel importer tool will not show existing requirements?

I am using the RQM Excel Importer tool to create new test case and link them to existing requirements. To start I am using a small group of 5 test cases to get the process down. When I open the importer tool I perform the following steps:

1. Open the excel file containing the test case name and subject.
2. In the add-ins tab I go to RQM>Export to Repository
3. In the Export to RQM window I enter/validate my credentials, select the QM project area, check Link to existing RM requirement, select my mapping file, and click Export.
4. In the RM window I enter/validate my credentials, select the RM project area, and click Export.
The problem => 5. When the Requirements Links page opens I get an error in the bottom left of the window that says "no requirement get from the project area."

Any ideas for how to populate the requirements?

Useful information:

• Excel Importer tool 4.0.3.8749
• CLM 4.0.6
• WAS 8.5.5.3
• User/password in com.ibm.rqm.requirement.service.internal.RequirementService under qm/admin>applications>advanced properties has read/write access to requirement composer.
• I linked the QM project to the RM project.
  
• I can import test cases by themselves with no problem.
