I have the same "Unclosed root tag" problem when importing from Evernote, but on Windows.

Just solved the problem (at least for me), after I saw a post that said Evernote's exports can be malformed. I had the problem with the Evernote export that creates one big enex file. But Evernote seems to have to different code paths for exporting notes: the one that creates one big file and the one that creates several files each capped at a specified maximum file size. The latter process is much slower, but for me it created enex files that I could import into Joplin without problems.
