Avatars and Attachments not importing

[hiker]

Before my import, I've moved my "attachment storage type" from database to File System. I've created my tmp folder, and it is chmod 777

I've got 33,000 attachments.

When at the attachment importing stage, I put in my correct original directory which is /var/www/vhosts/bogley.com/httpdocs/forum/files

But during the import process all I see is "Failed :: Attachment not importedattach file 2" and it does not list the attachment name, but it counts through all 33,000 attachments.

I know the path is correct because when I try something else, I see (I forget verbatim) "source file not found" and it lists the attachment name.

I've been successful in my past practice attempts, and I must be forgetting something this time. Any help?

Thanks.
