Hi Mark,

Then I shut down our old non-functioning server, pointed the new server at the old filesystem/database and have reproduced the import error. So it does appear that some inconsistency between the database and the filesystem is preventing new imports. I guess this could have been due to an unclean shutdown, an out-of-memory error (of which we have had a few recently) or perhaps an NFS issue.

There's nothing automatic in place, but I don't think it will be a complicated fix once we know what's going wrong. Would you be up for trying out a merge build (after taking a DB dump) or possibly send a DB dump along with your OMERO user's directory?
