Can you provide one of those failing pictures?

I've exported a picture to png using digikam, and I could import it in f-spot without problems. 

That error shows up when a !png image is imported with png extension.
Since no information has been provided, I believe this was the error you experienced.

To check if the file was really a png, issue
$ file /Elmo/Pictures/Photo Albums/15.10.2007 Svet RD/DSCF1056.png

Reopen in case....
