I was trying to use the Data Importer to import a csv of data templates. I get the following error:

New-Item : The type is not a known type for the file system. Only "file","directory" or "symboliclink" can be specified.

Any help is much appreciated.

This issue is a known bug and was reported with issue 1152. Scheduled to be released with SPE 6.1.

The quickest way to get a fix is to apply the following changes to the script:

/sitecore/system/Modules/PowerShell/Script Library/SPE/Tools/Data Management/Toolbox/Data Management/Data Importer

#Old Value
$itemPath = "$($destinationNode.ItemPath)/$($row.Name)"

#New Value
$itemPath = "$($destinationNode.ProviderPath)\$($row.Name)"

Alternatively, you can copy all of the script from the yml on the master branch as it addresses some other issues as well.
