    Are you storing the images in the database or on the file system of the server? If your storing them on the file system, check your robots.txt and make sure its not blocking the directory where the images are stored.

    If this is a new site, it might take google a little while to index everything.

    Looks to me like your robot.txt file is messed up

    Which you do not have in the other sites robots.txt file. Why do you want to disallow all search engines? Looks to me like your telling the search engines not to index your site.

    If you use "disallow" - your supposed to define what directory you do not want indexed.

    Also, do you have a google webmaster tools account? If so, what does it say about your site?

    For images in site, consider using the "ALT" attribute to include a few words of descriptive text. Try to make your filename a good description of the subject matter of the image.

    Google crawler cannot index images, So use descriptive ALT tags for your images so that they can be indexed with the help of these Alt tags.

    Change robots.txt to:

    User-agent:*
    Allow: /

    and don put any disallow lines. Also add ALT and TITLE tags for images in order for them to be semantically understood by Google and indexed consequently.
