Ok.  In other words, what I originally wrote was
correct after all:

I think the only way to do that is with omz or xpo
files (i.e., buy Dynaloader).  Go to the global server
and verify that your 30-minute bars are not really
being imported into the global server.  I know with 1
minute bars it doesn't work, pretty sure same story
with other time frames.  This is a bug of TS2000i.

Your reply:
--------------->
Using ASCII files works fine for me with intraday
data, (assuming the
file format is set correctly with the proper
delimiters).

I guess when you wrote that you didn't note that I was
only discussing the global server (because after all
Max did say he was importing intra-day data into it,
which I knew did not make sense and could be the
problem) in my original reply.  I hate it when people
confuse the global server and Tradestation.
