That's because NA places the state information in ADIF file to a comment 
field not to a state field as it should. You must open your ADIF log 
with a notepad or equivalent and locate from the first QSO line the 
state information. In one of my old ARRL DX contest logs the state could 
be found from comment field i.e.

<call:4>K4XS<freq:6>14.000<mode:2>CW<qso_date:8>20000219<time_on:4>0002
<rst_sent:3>599<rst_rcvd:3>599<comment:4>FL  <eor>

If your log looks the same as my example you must a replace command to 
replace all the "comment:4"s with "state:2"s (without the hyphens).
