Thanks for this. Got there at last.

There is some code (inherited from PGV) that "encrypts" filenames, when passing them as URLs.

The algorithm generates encrypted names that may contain '#' characters - and these cause the rest of the URL to be ignored....

So, the reason I couldn't see the error is down to choice of filename. My one was encrypted to a string that did not include '#'.

This encryption is present so that we can bypass some "hacker detection" code in session_spider. I was never happy with this hacker detection code. It was simply a cover for badly escaped strings elsewhere in the code, and I have already disabled it.

Fix submitted.

BTW - the problem "Column 'old_gedcom' cannot be null" is unrelated. I am working on this now....
