Re: importing csv data file into IPTC fields
ExifTool will not read CSV files. You have two options:

1) import the CSV file into a spreadsheet or some other program and use this program to generate an exiftool command line for each of the files you want processed.

2) write a simple Perl script to process your CSV file and use the exiftool API functions to do all the hard work.

See this thread for an example of the 2nd technique.
