Wonder if you can upload images using FTP to that folder?
Yes, I’ve just uploaded an image to /wp-content/uploads using eLeetFTP without a problem. Also able to put files there using Dreamweaver.
Do you know which of the wp files holds the name of the destination folder so I can check it’s correct ?

Thanks Michael,
I’ve checked the setting there and it is the default /wp-content/uploads but I still can’t upload anything.
🙁
Anything else I should check ?

Hi again,
I posted my query on my host’s support forum and this was a reply…
“My first guess would be that WordPress is using the copy() function to upload images. Because the open_basedir redirect is in place for security reasons, the copy() function will fail and move_uploaded_file() should be used instead.”
Could this be the case ? If so, where can I edit this ?
Any ideas on this ? I’ve just searched my site for “copy” but the result comes up with thousands 🙁
Ah ha… resolved 🙂 My host advised me…
“Have you enabled the ‘upload_tmp_dir’ PHP setting in the PHP settings section of MyPanel?
Creating a ‘tmp’ directory with the permissions set to 777, and then making the change in MyPanel should fix it.”
