Hi Wills, there is no mimetype as item metadata anymore this has been dropped with version 1.4.1. So dc.format.extent and dc.format.mimetype are no longer assigned as item metadata. Which version are you running? Information about mimetypes is kept in the bitstream format registry and each bitstream got a bitstream format associated with it.
