Hi Mike, and welcome.  

Confirmed.  The freebcp of FreeTDS 0.62.1 does not upload uniqueindentifier 
data, even NULL uniqueindentifier data.  I don't know why, but I will look 
into it.  

Thanks for the problem report.  If you're not using the latest release or 
snapshot, you might want to upgrade.  Any patch I come up with will apply to 
them.
