MARC record creation problems

I have installed and configured Koha on Windows XP and am having the following problems. First I tried a marcbulkimport of 6 MARC records which failed. Then I created 4 MARC records using the Z39.50 search. The records are numbered 2-5. When I search, I can only pull up numbers 2 and 3. I can't find numbers 4 and 5 no matter how I search. When I generate a report, it shows 3 records, two of type Book and one of type Null. When I export the MARC records and open the file in a text browser I can see all four records from the Z39.50 search, plus no. 1 which if I had to guess is from the failed bulkmarcimport. That one only contains the following  code:

00047    a2200037   4500090000900000  c1d1

Can someone explain what is going on and how I can clean out the first partial record as well as 4 and 5, which are not searchable, or make them searchable? Thanks.

I was able to do some cleanup using the MySQL Query Browser, but what I am now seeing is that although Koha appears to be creating item records, it is not in fact doing so. It did so for the first two records I created, but it is doing so no longer. Can anyone tell me what to look for?
