I came across a similar or related problem when developing an IPTC injector that takes captions/keywords from a spreadsheet and injects collections of images. Photoshop 7's Exif section stops the file info from displaying correctly for files saved with photoshop 7. The sollution I found was to strip the exif data from the files.
There are different ways of doing this but the most efficient for pc users is a little freeware program called jhead available from
http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/
save the program (to say c:\) and then run the command from a command shell in the folder where the images are like such:
c:\jhead -de *.jpg
This will losslessy strip the EXIF and should reveal the IPTC. Let me know if this works in your case.

We catalogue our images (Both Digital and Film) using Fotostation Pro, as made by Fotoware. It is highly important for archiving that we keep keyword data with our images. For this reason we use Fotostation to keyword all of our images. Once an Image has been key worded and then opened and manipulated in Photoshop, the keyword data is not saved. Is there any way in which Photoshop can process images that have been key worded using Fotostation, without losing this information. Secondly, In Photoshop, No file information, other than EXIF data can be seen on 16 bit images, even though it exists. Has anyone found anyway round this?
