Hi Tarek,

This is an old bug that's actually been fixed (you just reminded me that
I need to deploy it).

The problem you're facing is that the 'to' dimension (and the 'from'
dimension if you have it) must be compound dimensions (so when doing the
mapping you should choose "Dimension" not "Attribute".

I'll go and deploy now. Thanks for pinging the list about it.
