Problem solved: it seems the .store() function returns a unicode object 
instead of a string, and unicode can't be inserted into the DB as the 
filename. It can be fixed by casting the unicode text as a string:

db.t_image.insert(f_image_file = *str(*db.t_image.f_image_file.store(file = 
image_file_buffer, filename = filename)), **dict__img)

That brings up some questions - is it a desirable behavior for .store() to 
return unicode? Is there something idyosyncratic about my setup that's 
making that happen, or is this the general case?
