I don't understand it. I imported a list of products the first time and everything went fine. Then when I wanted to import a second list of products I kept getting the error: 'referencing to a file used in the field is not allowed' and it refers to the image files but they are all in the directory and they are correct with the right names and extensions etc. Why am getting this error and how do I fix it. I need to import these porudcts as soon as possible so any help will be appreciated. I attach the import file

Here is another file with what the error is about.

I think the problem is related to, or the same as, this: http://drupal.org/node/523588

As I understand it, somewhere in some table there is a record that shows that the image has already been referenced, and it won't let you do it again.

My short-term solution, pending some fix, was to re-name the folder that the images are in. Of course that was only possible because the images for the import were in their own folder within /files. And, if I want to re-import, I'll have to go re-name the folder again.
