It *did*?
Bizarro.
I uploaded it as a pef, and I downloaded it (to test it) twice - once at
home and once at work. Both times it saved as a pef, which I had to convert
in order to view.
Do you have an image converter program installed which is associated with
.pef files - and by default auto-converts them to tif?
I can't think of any other explanation.
(It *is* a pef file - trust me!)

That's a common occurance. I don't know what causes it but all
you have to do is rename the file from *.tif to *.pef (or *.nef for Nikon)

CS2 recognized it OK as a Pentax file and loaded up ACR even though it had
the tif extension.

That happens here, too, with both IE and Firefox. They get nosey, see
the embedded TIF header, and add the ".tif" extension.
