I have recently started receiving errors when trying to write data to an image using exiftool. I added the -v5 tag to try and discover the problem. Here is the output from exiftool after adding the -v5 tag to the command line:
Writing IPTC:OriginalTransmissionReference
Writing IPTC:SpecialInstructions
Writing XMP-photoshop:Headline if tag already exists
Writing IPTC:Headline
Rewriting /opt/artesia/data/cs/working_area//ssplavec_2007118165450_338/100918036_fb096915a84064a30aaf4e143ac0eead7c0d91ca.tif...
Editing tags in: IFD0 IPTC TIFF XMP
Creating tags in: IFD0 IPTC TIFF
Error = Format error in file
0 image files updated
1 files weren't updated due to errors
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem. I'm fairly new to this, so be gentle.
Thanks!

Hi Scott.
It looks like there is a format error in your file.
But seriously. It is likely the TIFF image doesn't start with
the correct byte sequence. The easiest way to track down the
exact problem is if you can mail me the file. My email is
philharvey66 at gmail.com
If that isn't possible, a hex dump of the start of the file would
be useful. In Unix, this can be done with this command:
