Problem solved.

The IS director took off on vacation. He's also the person who maintains the database. Seems he felt that the MIME type didn't need to have more than 10 characters.

MIME type for progressive jpegs: image/pjpeg

This was varchar initially but apparently got changed without telling me.

I love it when "specifications" turn into a skeet shoot.

I also love it when I focus on what I know (the binding) is the problem that I miss the obvious. Hmm... maybe that's why I keep voting for dud politicians.

Cheers,
A very red-face Ovid
