What's wrong with this TIF ... IOError("cannot identify image file")

Hi - I have a TIF which when I am try to read it with PIL I get
'IOError("cannot identify image file")'.

In it's original form PIL can read it. I then use ImageMagick to change
it's colour managment from RGB to CMYK (script A at bottom of email
shows the windows BAT files used). At that stage PIL won't read the
output. The output of TIFFDUMP applied to that image
(ZENDGraphOutput-Step1.TIF) is shown below.

However I read in an earlier post
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2008-November/005263.html)
that some TIF headers are needed by PIL which are sometimes lost by
intermediate process so I used ImageMagick and TIFFSET to put them back
in place (script B at bottom of email). Unfortunately even after that
PIL won't read it. The output of TIFFDUMP applied to that image
(ZENDGraphOutput-Step2.TIF) is also shown below.

Is there anyone out there who can see why PIL is choking on this TIF ? I
would be grateful for any advice.
