You cannot upload a zip file. You need an XML file.
See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/

Ok, I don’t see any import attempts logged.

Was the file named wordpress_export_1.xml?

I’m having the same error message. I’ve checked the filename and it still doesn’t seem to like the import. Might you be able to assist me also macmanx? Thanks in advance!
