I also wanted to know how you can determine from the csv files which of the nodes actually had ssid beaconing turned off i.e. would only be detectable by kismet and not netstumbler ??

If the SSID is in greater-than-less-than brackets, it's not putting it's SSID in it's beacon packets.
There's a huge mis-understanding about this. If you've got a cloaked network, you're still sending beacon packets, you're just not putting your SSID in the beacons. I think that if you completely turn off beacons, you would wind up breaking 802.11.. Kismet listens to see if anyone associates with that network, and if they do, that means that you know the SSID, cause you can see it in the traffic between them and the AP...
