Im trying to create a course catalog layout using XML. I go through the steps of creating basic layout tagging it and mapping styles. When I go to import xml I select "clone repeating text elements," "only import elements that match existing structure," and "Do not import contents of whitespace-only elements." Nothing happens. My dummy contents is still there.

Is it a problem that some course date in the catalog contains certain child tags while others don't? For instance one course might have a fee tag while another doesnt. Would Indesign just skip over those tags or would that mean that they don't have the same structure?

Only reason why InDesign wouldn't load incoming xml tags is as you selected "only import elements that match existing structure" so if you end with no contents loaded at all, that could mean your incoming xml file is totally made of non compliants tags. Otherwise you should have some contents loaded somehow.
Do you mind sharing some screenshots or idml files for a deeper introspection ?
