[Leica] Help? Lightroom refusing to import

[Don Dory]

It will be a kludge and should be tested on one image.  Open one in Bridge
or PS then save to a new folder as a TIFF file..  Then see if LR will touch
it.   If so then you are good to go.

Also, I assume you have contacted the photographer inquiring as to any tags
they put on files to make them proofs.  If so perhaps the files could be
resent as clean files.  Or, have the files sent as they were straight out
of the camera.
