Importing multiple categories with Magento

Been all day on this one : I have a bunch of categories in Magento and I'm importing a CSV of about 1000 products. Each product is going into ~10 categories.
I've tried formatting the CSV the same way that the CSV that I once exported : 

sku,_store,_attribute_set,_type,_category, ....
"12345","","Default","simple","myFavoriteCategory", ....
,,,,"myFavoriteCategory/and a subcategory", ....
,,,,"myFavoriteCategory/badSubcategory", ....

I thought this was great but it's only putting the product into the first category (myFavoriteCategory in this case)

I also tried doing it all in one line by separating the categories by double delimeters within the quotes but with no success.
I'm using Magento ver. 1.6.2.0

Thanks

Using the Magmi plugin, which is fairly easy to install, I followed these instructions : http://blog.maximusbusiness.com/2012/11/import-categories-images-product-attributes/ and it worked. I hope I can save someone in the future some serious head/wall contact.
