Should I put the category in a <sym> tag, like so:

<sym>Police Station</sym>

. . . or do I need to use a different tag, or even some other category identifier like a number? Since I am looking to import around 40,000 POIs, manually setting the category for each one isn't an option.
I have no experience with importing POI but you should try a xml tool to validate your gpx file against the doctype definition mentioned in the qpx file quoted above (http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd).
