[Gmod-help] Loading new organisms into Chado

I've not looked in detail at the code involved in this problem but my guess
is that GenBank line "ORGANISM  Saccharomyces pastorianus Weihenstephan 34/70" is too 
far from the binomial format "Genus species" that one of the bioperl or gmod
programs is looking for in parsing this.  

With simpler organism lines, e.g. "ORGANISM Mus musculus",
the programs should parse that from Genbank records (bp_genbank2gff3) into the .gff
output, then bp_bulk_load_gff3 should pull that "organism=Mus mus" from the gff and
install into Chado's organism table.  If this is the only organism you are loading,
you can avoid that problem as the others noted by using 
instead of  'bp_bulk_load_gff3.pl -organism fromdata'
this 'bp_bulk_load_gff3.pl -organism "Saccharomyces pastorianus"'
