Aart-
I think your idea is correct regarding the "FULL" indicator.
Refer the SAP help document here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ccm20/helpdata/en/index.htm
We leave this blank when doing delta uploads - that works for us.
Here is the comment from the help file to support this change:
The identifier full, if you want the CSV file to completely replace the existing catalog
If you leave this column blank, SAP Catalog Authoring Tool treats the CSV file as an update file: only those catalog objects (for example, schema, categories, items) that are contained in the CSV file are replaced. All other catalog objects remain unchanged. This means you cannot use an update to delete catalog objects.
Example
SAP CATALOG CSV 2.0 <|> full
The separator is “|” and this upload replaces the existing catalog.
End of the example.
Note
If you use “Microsoft Excel” to create a CSV file (with “;” as the separator), you must ensure that the content of the first line is located in the first column (the first cell of the worksheet).
End of the note.
