Color space conversion trouble

I have a project that requires all uploaded images to be a specific size and to be in the sRGB color space. My programmer set up ImageMagick to convert the uploaded images and at first it seemed to work well. But I have found that when a RGB file is uploaded directly from a digital camera ImageMagick fails to convert it to sRGB. If I then save that same RGB file in Photoshop (without changing the colorspace) and upload it, ImageMagick converts it to sRGB without a problem. The programmer has no idea why.

Is there a difference in the way icc profiles are tagged in jpeg images compared to the way an program like Photoshop tags them? Or is there something else I'm missing? I've tried files from several different digital cameras, but none are converted by by ImageMagick, while the processed files are.

Thanks in advance for any comments or ideas anyone might have.
