FMPro Image Import problem

I'm working on an script to import thousands of images into an FMPro
database. I've got the script running well except for one small problem.
When the images are imported into the field it apparently only imports a
reference. When the Windows users open the database they see nothing
although the Mac users see all.
The syntax I'm using is:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
set new_record to create new record in database the_database
set cell the_picture of new_record to file path_name
set cell the_name of new_record to path_name
end tell
I'm new to FMPro scripting. Is there a way to actually import the picture
file directly into the database? I know it will make a huge file but that's
ok. We found if we use the Import command from the menu it imports
correctly. I've tried using the "do menu" command but I'm not getting the
syntax right at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
