This may be the problem - I see there is a javascript file in the avatars directory, presumably created after the 'upgrade' function runs. I only presume this because it is not present in the zip files.
Anyway, when I deleted all the old avatars and added my own, I'm sure I deleted this file as well, as I selected the whole dir contents for deletion.
