Not sure if this helps, I had this problem only on my Windows Dev Machine running on a test server on local host, on my live web hosting it worked fine detecting mime types.

Don't think this was documented anywhere in the manual, but sorted the problem for me as I just wanted to get my script up and running locally to do some work on it.
