We had similar problems on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS some time ago.

This solved it for us (taken from an other list posting):

I had the same problem ; so, I looked at http://wiki.horde.org/MimeMagic
and found that |mime_magic.magicfile had to be defined in php.ini.
So I added this definition with the same magic file path as in
horde/config/conf.php (for me /usr/share/file/magic), and yet, MIME
types are correctly recognized (at least msword and msexcel)
