Thanks Mark - it's a case of the cobbler's children going round barefoot - the number of times I've chanted "permissions, permissions, permissions" to various people (including myself), I should have guessed - some of the dirs below images had the wrong permissions and I didn't see that in the truss as it would have been a MySQL process that hit the access error.
Cheers,

Hmm - I sent this ti the list on the 3rd, but didn't get a reply - hardly surprising, as I now can't see it in the archive! Trying again ...
Hi - I have recently migrated our wiki to a new host and version (1.13.0). That is working fine, but I wanted to reimport all the images into my dev system as that will act as a backup system as well.
However, although the majority of images are imported correctly, some are just reported as "failed". I have tried uploading one of these manually and it worked fine. The image didn't exist in the image dir and wasn't shown in the image db table prior to the manual upload.
The only clue I have found was in a truss of the import:
6203: write(5, "07\0\0\003 C O M M I T", 11) = 11 6203: read(5, "07\0\001\0\0\002\0\0\0", 16384) = 11 6203: time() = 1243847745 6203: resolvepath("/home/sam.sexton/TGSTWiki/includes/WikiError.php", "/home/sam.sexton/TGSTWiki/includes/WikiError.php", 10 24) = 48 6203: open("/home/sam.sexton/TGSTWiki/includes/WikiError.php", O_RDONLY) = 6 6203: fstat(6, 0x01219180) = 0 6203: d=0x05240459 i=1527070 m=0100644 l=1 u=324 g=666
sz=3337
6203: at = Jun 1 07:57:37 GMT 2009 [ 1243843057 ] 6203: mt = Nov 21 15:46:40 GMT 2008 [ 1227282400 ] 6203: ct = Mar 6 15:42:59 GMT 2009 [ 1236354179 ] 6203: bsz=8192 blks=8 fs=nfs 6203: read(6, " < ? p h p\n / * *\n *".., 8192) = 3337 6203: read(6, 0x015DD8B8, 8192) = 0 6203: read(6, 0x015DD8B8, 8192) = 0 6203: close(6) = 0 6203: write(1, " f a i l e d .\n", 8) = 8
so this could be a database issue, but I'm not sure where to go next
...
any clues would be appreciated.
