Note the "Start Date" and "Frequency" fields on a screenshot above. Using these values you can schedule the post generation process.

No, you just didn't get it right. When you import a bunch of galleries from a dump, the plugin does not physically pull the actual images from the remote galleries because such an operation may take many hours. Just imagine parsing of 1000's remote galleries, downloading all the detected images and cropping the thumbnails at once. This is just insane.
So the plugin simple creates 1000's of posts (one post per FHG from a dump) and inserts the gallery_magic shortcodes into them. This operation does not require a lot of time. After that when you, a surfer or an SE spider open one of these posts, the plugin creates the actual gallery (downloads the remote images, crops the thumbnails etc), inserts it into that post and displays it. This operation will be performed for every post only once and it's fully automatic. I.e. it does not require any manual actions from you or from anybody else.
