Attachment_fu & update_attributes... bug?

It seems that attachment_fu is a pretty popular plugin (it’s great), but
I’ve been having a terrible time trying to figure out an issue when
using “update_attributes”. I’m storing files on the file system rather
than in a database.

It seems that when “update_attributes” is called with a new file,
upload_data= tries to copy a file that doesn’t exist, the file name of
the new upload_data.

Anyway here’s the error I get:

No such file or directory -public/db_files/songs/4/Song.mp3

I found some other people reporting these issues, (
Parked at Loopia &

experience with this problem or have any good work arounds? Thanks.

If someone can write a failing test for this I can look at it. I
haven’t been seeing the issue in the projects I’ve been using it in.
