    Uhm previewmaker.pl should be run as the same user/group as your 
webserver.  If you're like me, and run it as root, you have to chown the 
entire image-cache and album-data folders (and their contents) back to 
the same user/group as your webserver.

    This is Image::Info telling you it's discarding XML information your 
camera adds.

    Yeah, because those files are no longer owned by the webserver user, 
but as root.  You can't delete files owned by someone else.  However, if 
you chown everything back to the same user as the webserver, your 
problems will be solved.
