Hello there, @Lance_Butler ...
Out of curiosity, I assume that you are following the format outlined here?
Outcomes Import Format Documentation - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
It took me a while to figure out the formatting myself. One of the things I did to try and help me understand the format was to manually create some outcomes at the institution level (also creating group folders within group folders). Then, I went to the account "Settings" page, clicked on the "Reports" tab, and then ran the "Outcome Export" report. This would allow you to see the structure of what you manually built and would give you an idea of what might be going on with your file that may need correcting.
I hope this will be of some help to you.
