Sean, thanks for answering. Yes, I've seen the example plugin and
actually used it as a starter. The point is, that the example
also does not store metadata from stage 3, only from stage 1. So,
either there's something me and the example are missing, or
there's some general problem. I suppose the validation goes wrong
somehow here, since the converter seems to do well, as far as I
can see with debugging. 

thx
