Updating multimedia component using TOM.NET

Question

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"?>

    </tcm:Details>
</tcm:Error>

Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for your responses. I was deleting the node but at the wrong place. I update the code like this and it works fine now.

 if (localComponent.IsMultimediaComponent)

                        {

                            XmlNode multimediaFileSizeNode = localComponentXML.SelectSingleNode("//*[local-name()='MultimediaFileSize']",tridionNamespace);

                            XmlNode dataNode = multimediaFileSizeNode.ParentNode;

                            dataNode.RemoveChild(multimediaFileSizeNode);

                        }



                        localComponent.UpdateXML(localComponentXML.InnerXml);
