[Midas] Pydas Upload Error

[Chapman, Brian]

Hello fellow Midas/Pydas users. I'm trying to use Pydas to upload a large collection of DICOM images into a Midas repository (3.2.6). I'm using Pydas to do the upload and get an error I can't seem to interpret. Here is the trace from an ipython shell:

In [14]: pydas.upload(f,leaf_folders_as_items=True)

I cannot interpret what the "Unsupported segments file format" means and I cannot see any files in the directory that seem problematic.
