file command failed to detect some mime types

2012-05-01 Thread J. Bakshi 
Dear list,

I'm using file -bi command to check the mime types of files; specially for
.xls and .doc . It is running well on my local debian box. But the detection is 
not working at all on a remote server having file-5.09; don't know the linux 
distro
on thar serever though. There the command returns just

` ` ` ` ` `
charset=binary

` ` ` ` `

missing the mime types. Could anyone suggest how to debug this issue ?

Thanks
