Assets not appearing after upgrade

Hi Guys,

I upgraded from Perch v2.4.5 to the latest 2.5.3. However, the assets section is blank. None of the existing resources are appearing in the assets section.

The site currently only runs a blog facility (no pages, except a search page). It was an add-on after the site was static initially. However, I expect the images added in the blog via the image field type to appear in the assets section.

I have the site running locally only at the moment, as I wanted to install/upgrade and test before pushing live.

here are my diagnostics if this helps?

I have testing uploaded a new assets and this seems to function fine.

Any ideas?

I have a couple of sites I want to upgrade so would like to get this one right first.
