[wp-testers] Uploading media problem in WP 2.7 RC1

[Paul Robinson]

I had a similar problem & it turned out it was the uploads directory being
wrong in the misc settings. I generally got a permissions not sufficent
error but now and again it would change to a temp directory error. Can't
remember exactly, but it's worth a check.
