You're sending:

import -m initial import -ko -I! -W *.bin -k 'b'

You are forcing -ko in your upload - this overrides any wrappers 
(forcing stuff in import is generally a bad idea).

There are at least two ways to achieve what it looks like you're trying 
to do:

import -m initial import -k-v -I! -W *.bin -kb

or

import -I! -W *.* -ko -W *.bin -kb

Or the best way in this case - don't specify anything and let the server 
handle it (*.bin is already default binary).
