Comment (by hellik):

 Replying to [comment:2 mlennert]:
 > Or you can change the line to:
 >
 > <SrcDataSource relativeToVRT=1>gbif_gisinput.csv</SrcDataSource>

 correct relative position to the vrt file (in this case in the same
 directory).

 yes, adding relativeToVRT=1 does the trick (will change the title of the
 ticket)

 > BTW: I have no problems using the wxgui import wizard to import this
 vrt. Have you made sure that the wizard file picker was not configured to
 only look for shapefiles ?

 here the vrt is recognized by the vector import wizard if I explicitely
 choose the vrt file.

 in mode "source type: directory; format: vrt": if I enter the path to
 directory, only the shapefile in this folder is recognized, although vrt
 is defined as format.
