Firestore Import - no error, but no changes

I'm attempting to use the instructions here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/export-import to a) do periodic backups of data from my production instance, and b) copy data between production/staging/dev instances.

For what it's worth, each instance is in a separate Firebase project (myapp-dev, myapp-staging and myapp-production), all are on the Blaze plan and each has a corresponding bucket in Cloud Platform (gs://myapp-backup-dev, ...-staging, ...-production).

I've successfully completed all the "Before you begin" steps. I've exported data from one instance/project (staging) into it's bucket, and it *seems* that I can also import it back into that project successfully (no error message, operationState: SUCCESSFUL), but any records changed since the export don't 'restore' back to their original values.

And for what it's worth, I've also successfully copied the exported data from that bucket into another project's bucket (staging to dev), and get the same result when I am importing it into the second project (dev).

Am I doing something wrong here? Missing something?

Is the name of your collection testStuff or 'testStuff'? If it's testStuff, it seems like your export command was slightly off. You'll need to export the data again. You should get a workCompleted number this time around.

gcloud beta firestore export gs://myapp-backup-dev --collection-ids='testStuff'

gcloud beta firestore import gs://myapp-backup-dev/2018-10-15T21:38:18_36964 --collection-ids='testStuff'
