  2.  * The following code create a node with a fieldfield attached file. The code almost works, the
  3.  * node is created and the file is imported by filefield (the file is copied to <drupal>/files and
  4.  * and entry is created in the DB). But the file is not listed when viewing the node until the node
  5.  * is edited manually.
  6.  *
  7.  * FileField creation code from http://drupal.org/node/292904#comment-956155
