I have my own function with the same name - that is certainly my problem.

I did search my workspace (through the workbench) for that function name and nothing came up so I used that name. But a search of my workspace space through my OS, revealed that I had that library with the other imgopen on my system. I had removed it from my workbench but it was still in my path.
