Permission denied on existing when running batch importer in 'create' mode

[Nicklas Nordborg]

There seems to be a problem with batch item importers that may result in a PermissionDeniedException when running the batch importer in 'create' mode. If the importer finds an existing item that the logged in user doesn't have write permission to it stops with an error:

net.sf.basedb.core.BaseException: Permission denied: Not allowed to write Physical bioassay[Name=Hybridization A.00h] on line 5 in file 'physicalbioassay_out.txt': Hybridization A.0...

Write permission should not be required since the importer is not going to update the item. IT doesn't help to set the 'Item already exists' option to 'skip'.

This issue was found in the physical bioassay importer but since it happens in the generic base class (AbstractItemImporter) it is probably present in all batch item importers.
