Chris,
That message seems a little bizarre. Gimp will open ordinarily open
JPEG files natively, and thus shouldn't use a plugin to do this. You
may have somehow messed up some configuration settings - and it is
using an inappropriate import plugin. Assuming that you don't have any
setting or personal Gimp scripts that you want to keep, you can remove
your personal settings for gimp with the command rm -rf ~/.gimp*.
(Or simply renaming the .gimp-* directory to say .gimp-old)
They when you launch gimp again it should create fresh and default
settings. If that doesn't work, you may want to use your software
package managerf to remove and reinstall gimp (and possible clean your
personal settings again).
BTW do you get the same issue when say opening PNG files?

Can any one advise how to resolve this problem (or a better forum)?
PS I have no trouble viewing them on screen. However I need to reduce
their size for us in ID cards and and posting to the web.
