Hi Aidan,



`org-publish-attachment' is wrong or called with wrong arguments.


This patch fixes it.

As always, there might be a better way to fix it,
but this way the function `org-publish-attachment' will work regardless
of parameters.  Someone will always call this function with the wrong
`PUB-DIR' parameter...


Aidan, would like to apply the patch and verify it works for you?



Best wishes,


  Sebastian
