It's not a problem, it's a feature that protects you from accidentally
changing the contents of your database unless you're absolutely sure! So
yes, you could change TRUE to FALSE if you wanted to... or you could
just use the command-line parameter to tell it to go ahead and reingest
the records like so:

reingest_uningested.pl --reingest

(For those wondering about what script Steve is talking about, it's the
script at
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib/browser/conifer/branches/rel_1_6_0/tools/daily-scripts/reingest_uningested.pl  -- which we haven't had to run in a long time, as I think 1.6.0.4 resolved all of our ingest problems)
