Right, I'm stripping query strings because it appeared the Google Bookmarks API was rejecting URLs with query strings. It could be the error lies elsewhere, but I couldn't find much documentation.
http://lnkr.mobi/bm/google_bookmarks_api/ seems to says that "upload capability was written to migrate "IE favorites" to Google Bookmarks, and IE favorites don't have annotations.". So I wonder if it's better to have the script find all delicious bookmarks that don't have notes/comments and continue to use the xml approach.. and for the others use the http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark api call for each entry.
Google now has an official delicious bookmarks importer: https://www.google.com/bookmarks/deliciousimport

Awesome script... but it think this delicious api xml method doesn't support youtube delicious bookmarks since they all have question marks in them... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUB4j0n2UDU
