Hi, I posted a patch to fix this in upstream[0], but in the mean time I'll really appreciate if people affected by this bug test the fix and give feedback. I created a ppa[1] with the patch applied so you can easily try the fix.

Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu Studio Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689139 Title: Shotwell doesn't import across symbolic link Status in Shotwell: New Status in shotwell package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Binary package hint: shotwell Bug can be reproduced on my machine by opening Shotwell, going to File > Import From Folder... then choosing my /home/user/Pictures folder. When I attempt to import the pictures a dialogue box comes up saying; "Import complete - 1 non-image file skipped". This folder contains 491 items, 27 of them are subfolders, the rest are .jpg, .gif, .png, .pspimage, .psd etc. This folder is a symlink to /media/share/Pictures /media/share is a mounting point for an NTFS partion, perhaps related to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/636084 However, maybe not as all subfolders which contain images within them import OK. Edit: Have just imported the photos from the directory rather than from the symbolic link and it has worked successfully so I guess that means it has a problem with the symbolic link. Other apps (for instance digiKam) work OK using this link.
