I know it's a pain, but can you install firebug and get a traceback for this? As-is,
it's impossible to know what's going wrong.

I've seen this too, with the excellent suggestion to use Firebug I was able to see:

You need to make sure the web server has access to write to the upload directory. I'm
pretty sure the instructions on the GettingStarted page include this.
