Facebook FQL: Get group post status photos - facebook

Question

I am trying to pull the photos from a user's post within a group. Posts in a group seem to be either created as a 'photo' or 'status'.
I am able to pull the photos from a post within the group when it is created as a 'photo' using this:
SELECT attachment FROM stream WHERE post_id="<postid>"
But if the post was created as a 'status' this query doesn't return any data for the attachment.
Here is an example of a post created as a 'status' and what the results are. No data for attachment (photo) when I know there is a photo that goes with that post.
SELECT attachment, type, message, created_time FROM stream WHERE post_id = '<postid>'
{
"data": [
{
"attachment": {
"description": ""
},
"type": 308,
"message": "Ceramic wall hanging with mirror from Spain (6\"x8\") $5 pickup in SR",
"created_time": 1379101402
}
]
}
Is this a permissions thing or am I just not pulling from the correct table(s) for this type of post?
Thanks
Chris

Answer 1

Just saying that it works fine for me:
SELECT post_id, attachment, type, message, created_time FROM stream WHERE post_id="POST_ID"
POST_ID looking like: 481234567779150_559912345679366. The permissions I use are user_groups and user_friends.

Did you try your query in the Graph API Explorer? Can you give more information? What kind of group is it, secret, public? Is the user one of your friend? I personally tried with both public or private groups and friend or non-friend posts. Can you confirm this happens with other 308-type posts with a photo and on several groups?
