datetime conversion question

Using SQL2005 DTS - I am trying to import data from a CSV file into a table
created with the following
CREATE TABLE [maint].[dbo].[SpaceAnalysis_v2] (
[Date-Time] datetime,
[Server] text,
[Drive] text,
[Drive Size] numeric(29,0),
[Space Free] numeric(29,0)
)
the first field is date and time and looks like this >>
09/20/2006 06:30:03 PM
But no matter what I try to use for a final field format the result of that
data after it's imported displays the same time for every record >> 12:00:00
AM <<. The date comes through fine, but it just does not seem to recognize
the time. What do I need to do to get the time to be imported correctly ?
It appears that the time is not included as part of the date data.
Is the date/time field enclosed in single quotes? (Such as: '09/20/2006
06:30:03 PM') This is a non-standard date format, having two spaces between
the date and time portions, as well as a space between the time and the
AM/PM indicator.
Please post an EXACT excerpt from the import file so that we can visually
see the data to determine if there are problems that are causing a
'mis-load'.

absolutely correct, sorry I was looking at the file through excel.
