Ok, a couple issues off the top of my head:

* The listed MIME type appears to be padded with what may be NULL 
characters. This might indicate a problem with your database.... Perhaps 
it was set up with the binary configuration but with a fixed-size field 
instead of the variable-size one?

Check the image table's layout (SHOW CREATE TABLE image).

This could cause the standard handling of JPEG files to be skipped as 
the type string wouldn't match. Thus you get a generic file icon and no 
image dimensions listed.


* The actual file link is broken:

http://www.timespin.net/spillmodding/wiki/images/2/23/Testing.jpg

It seems you've got your upload path mixed in with your URL rewrite 
rules, and the browser can't get at your files.
