Jeff,

Which version of poky are you working with? There was a problem that we 
had with file at one point and thought was fixed. If you check in your
tmp/sysroots directory for the host machine, do you have a file.real?

We needed to create a cover script which correctly pointed file to the 
right magic.mgc file.

Hope that helped.

Sau!
