I am trying to update the metadata on the multimedia image in C# using Tridion's TOM.NET API like this
componentMM.LoadXML(localComponent.GetXML(XMLReadFilter.XMLReadALL));
// make changes to the component mm multimedia text;
localComponent.UpdateXML(componentMM.InnerXML);
localComponent.Save(True)
While this works for other components, it is failing for Multimedia images.
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong here?
Include only the tcm:Metadata node in your update?
Specifically, it is complaining about you specifying the size of the mm file, which you shouldn't, that's a system property. Clean up the XML you receive from Tridion to remove that property (it might then complain about another property, just do what it asks you to).
EDIT: Reading the error messages is a great skill to have...
