Your form element should be:

<input type=file name="file_name:file">

The ':file' is necessary to marshal the file into a file object.  I was
going on the assumption that you had done that otherwise as you've
discovered it will turn it into a string, which you may or may not want.

PS Don't forget the ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" on your <form> tag.
