I've set up Node Import which runs a first csv import perfectly even the image [manually uploaded to /sites/default/files/profile-img in my case] is imported/ shown.

I also installed and enabled Node Import via Cron to update the nodes via csv on cron run. Therefor I selected "Forced import in cron" and "Delete old nodes" within the Node Import configuration screen.

Uploading a new csv file with some adjustments to the initial imported node and running cron deletes the previous node and then imports the modified node.

This doesn't work since during the delete proces deletes the manually uploaded image and when import is run detects that the image is not present. [Input error: imagename.jpg is not allowed for img (not a file in sites/default/files/profile-img)]

Any ideas?

I choose a different route, am using feeds now which does the job well. Still would be interested in possible solution/ where it goes wrong upon import.
