Errors in Phase 2 of mission download

Hello,

I'm getting lots of errors in Phase 2: Downloading Ghost Objects of the mission download in my game.
We have lots of new dts shapes in the world, and all their textures work, but the console is getting spammed with errors during phase 2, like the following:

Sending request for file theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg
Sending request for file theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.jpg
Sending request for file theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.png
Sending request for file theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.gif
Sending request for file theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.bmp

.....

No Such File 'theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg'.
No Such File 'theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.jpg'.
No Such File 'theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.png'.
No Such File 'theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.gif'.
No Such File 'theblob/data/shapes/plants/transpawner/eye.jpg.bmp'.

I'm getting a million of these errors, with pretty much all of our shapes in the game. Does this sound like an exporting problem?

These errors don't cause the game to crash, and the textures on all our shapes look fine, but the errors are really bugging me, as they spam the console like crazy on a mission startup.

Anyone have any ideas?

Do a binary grep for "eye" (eg via wingrep) on all the files in transpawner/ to see which of them is looking for the texture.

be sure to look for "eye" and not "eye.jpg" or something.

Seems like it specifically looking for something with .jpg on the end though.

Well, I couldn't find the problem, so I just put a random eye.jpg in my directory and the error went away. I know this isn't the way to fix problems, but......oh well.
