Are there any Limitations on Creating Accounts in the Excel connector

As part of an initial load of heritage data into salesforce.com I want to try to load up 37,876 accounts via the Excel connector.
I had a couple of unsuccesful attempts which resulted in partial data loads which i then deleted using the Excel connector. Now i can't load any Account records.
Is there a data limit? I ask because the last thing i did was to delete the Account records out of salesforce and there were exacltly 32,000 account records which seems a strangley round figure to be coincidental.
We are still in our trial period with Salesforce.com

Further investigation seems to show that the problem lies with an Account Record whose account name begins with an ampersand (&). Could this be so?

That is correct. There is a bug in a previous version of the toolkit that does not escape the value correctly if it's the first character :(
