Adding content: Failed to create content due to error

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hello all,

I am playing with the latest SVN of Alfresco Community (current build 19471).

When I try to add content using the web interface, it seems to work, saying that the content has been uploaded. However, upon pressing "OK" to save the content I receive the following error:

Failed to create content due to error: str parameter is mandatory ‍

The debug output gives the following warning:

ERROR [ui.common.Utils] Failed to create content due to error: str parameter is mandatory
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: str parameter is mandatory

Uploading via FTP or CIFS works as expected.

Any idea how to fix this, or do I just have to wait for the final release?

Let me just say that yes, I know I am dealing with the bleding edge. The only reason I have gone to SVN is because of the CIFS authentication issue present in 3.2r2.

"Updating" a file works fine, it is just uploading new content which is problematic.
