Title: Can't write to existing MakerNote (FocalLength) in DNG file, success with jpeg

Can successfully replace to jpeg, but not DNG files, the tag -Pentax:FocalLength=16 etc..  The field exists and is populated in DNG, but write returns the '0 files update, 1 file unchanged' response.

Thanks for any insight into tag format Phil, nice tool.

I'm sorry to say that the DNG maker notes are not currently writable.  Before I add this ability I have to figure out what to do about the mess that Adobe makes of some maker notes.  It should be do-able though, and I have added it to my to-do list.
