Ah, it's trying to treat the file like a directory, a bug but not an  
important one. It's easiest to upload files as directories FYI.

The images are not yet fully deleted so I can put them back to  
unavailable if necessary, though I won't get chance to do that until  
tomorrow. It's fine if you want to upload again. The steps you mention  
sound like the image shouldn't have ended up deleted, I'll have to  
take a look and see if there's a bug causing this.
