Directory creation fails; Installed in home folder running under XAMPP on OS X (1 post)

    I'm setting up a development environment for myself. I'm using XAMPP and WordPress is installed in ~/Sites/wordpress. I can get to the site just fine, but when trying to import content from my live blog, I get the following:

    "Unable to create directory /Users/brian.shacklett/Projects/Wordpress/web_content/wp-content/uploads/2009/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"

    Normally this is a really quick issue for me to fix, but I've verified the permissions all the way down the line and everything looks fine. I'm not worried about security since it's only a dev environment, so I ran chmod -R 777 ~/Sites/wordpress to make sure the WordPress directory had write permissions. All of the parent directories have read and execute permissions for everyone.

    Any ideas?
