Hi Nelson,
as far as I know there is no user-group sysop, because there is only one sysop-user per wiki-installation. In my wiki-installation the sysop-user is called WikiSysop (which I think is the default). This user appears in special:userlist, but is not denoted as sysop.
When you try to log in as WikiSysop, it's important to use upper- and lowercase letters. Wikimedia will ignore the case of the first letter of a username, but will not accept a wrong case in the other letters. So logging in as wikiSysop is accepted, trying it as Wikisysop isn't.

The account you created when you first installed Mediawiki should be a sysop.
mmm... I created "wikiuser" when went through the mediawiki setup. But I can get in to my wiki without loging in. So I am not clear how that id is used.
If you don't change any of the default userrights, your wiki is open to everyone. But you have to log in as your sysop-user to be allowed to import pages (or do other maintenance-stuff)...
When I got the error message saying that I don't have the "sysop" permisiion to import, I created another account to login wiki. But I just could not find how to set it to "sysop" group! This is where I stuck. Please help.
Try to log in as the user you created during the wiki-setup. Hope it works out. :-)
Greetings Kate
