Hard delete fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up export CLIq process on desired custom object
2. Set up hard delete CLIq process on desired custom object
3. Run CLIq export process (will output the ids of objects)
4. Copy output (write) file to input (read) of CLIq delete process
5. Run CLIq hard delete process

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected hard delete of objects listed.  Nothing was written to error or 
success .csv file.  sdl.log noted the following:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
This was done on Windows 7 Professional, SP 1.  Using CLIq version 2.1.1.

Please provide any additional information below.
Was able to execute soft delete successfully.  All other activities (insert, 
upsert, etc.) work fine.  Only problem is with hard delete.  User used for 
login has Bulk API Hard Delete enabled in profile.

What version of DataLoader.jar do you have?  I think hard delete is available 
from 21 or later.

I am using DataLoader v 20.  The interface allows hard delete.  Do you mean
it is not available via the API?

See if this article helps:

The person was using this parameter:
<entry key="sfdc.useBulkApi" value="true"/>

Try adding that to your process-conf.xml.  If that works, I can add it to the 
CLIq config.
I think the person was also using DL 21.0.

That worked.  The entry appears in the process-conf.xml file, but the value
is set to "false" for the hard delete action (by default I guess).  Thanks
for the help!
