If you don't have snapshots its easier to copy the VDI where you want it, create a VM and attach that VDI.

I don't think the import function as it stands can do a mass import, its one at a time, so whats the difference with a manual copy *.vdi and then register/attach them? If this is a daily routine then make sure both Hosts are configured the same when it comes to VDI's and their uuid's, then it a simple matter of copying or using rsync.
