Archive fails due to metadata not retrieved

I'm not sure of the fix for the following error:

pm-caitlyn-test-shots-12-21-10-202.nef: Rule New Rule matched.

This happens because Hazel cannot retrieve the file's Spotlight metadata. You have to check the following:

- Do you have Spotlight disabled? You would know if you did this since it involves a process that most people wouldn't know about.
- Do you have the folder (or any of it's parent folders) included in Spotlight's privacy settings?
- Is indexing turned off for that volume/folder? Unfortunately, the only way to figure this out is via the commandline so let me know if you are able to use the commandline and I can post some instructions.
