sql-mode="strict_all_tables" has no effect when using Load Data Infile

[L Peal]

I'm using Load Data Infile and need to conditionally exclude an entire row of data if a certain column contains 0. I cannot use partitioning mentioned at the bottom of this link http://dev.mysql.md/doc/refman/5.4/en/load-data.html because valid data goes from .01 to 99999999.99.
Load Data Infile does not seem to have a feature to conditionally exclude an entire row (yet continue with the rest of the load).

So I hacked up a solution I thought might work:
IF(@pdsn_fwd_link_byte_cnt RLIKE '^[0-0.00\\.\\-]+$', 'x', @pdsn_fwd_link_byte_cnt),

Esentially trying to insert a non-numeric character if a '0' was encountered. Thought this would cause an error intentionally and cause the row to be rejected.

I found a link someone posted similar to what I'm trying to do: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=29188
So, if this is not a bug, then is it a feature?? Any ideas on how to accomplish what should be a trivial task are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
