Then its time to be a little more verbose.  Cut and paste the mount 
command in full please
Also please explain how you created the image, what filesystem it is etc....

By the way I never heard of an image file growing!  Seeing is believing- 
I'll have to try.
To resize I have always padded the end, used fdisk and then done the 
usual resizefs or equiv.  You may be saving me some unnecessary work 
now!  Of course though, it cannot shrink if you delete a file..an image 
is just a big block of bytes that acts like a linear disk space.  It has 
no extra-terrestial intelligence to shrink itself on demand prior to 
applying some infinite *probability drive*
