Problem importing TIFFS

I have >15'' TIFF files created from scanning old transparencies using a Nikon Coolscan VED and Nikon Scan 4 software that produced files of around 7'MB.
Lightroom refuses to import any of these although other software opens them correctly.
Any suggestions?
 
Welcome to Lightroom Forums DrFish1'1! (What's your name?)

Couple of thoughts:

1. Are they bigger than 1',''' pixels on either edge, as there's a 1',''' pixel limit imposed by the ACR engine currently.

2. Are they definitely RGB files?

I had that trouble with a couple of TIFF scanned ona coolscan, (like these) it was the colour profile, as Victoria mentions

This is what TiifTagViewer 2.' reports for one of the problem images:

ICCProfile (8636 Undefined):

Does this help identify my problem? It would appear that it's not image dimensions and the colour profile is RGB.
