It's probably a good idea to just convert the entire metadata file to this format. Phyloseq (used for importing the data into R) understands this. QIIME is too strict. Going to generate a minimal mapping file instead. Created an to fix this (biocore/qiime #1520)
:frowning: check_id_map.py in QIIME requires barcodes to be unique and we used duplicate barcodes on separate lanes and runs.
