ERROR - "Unable to create directory /hermes/web01/b1335/moo.jbhurley63/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"
This directory already exists, and I am able to add files to this location via http://ftp... so I assume I have an issue with permissions... any ideas
Try setting the chmod on the uploads folder to 666. If that doesn't work, try 766 or 777.

Ah... found it in my http://FTP... trying now...
Thanks... can you give me a little more info... is that a WP admin setting... or something I would set with my hosting co.

well... I tired 666 and now the "03" folder has vanished... along with all of my media that was in it...
Chmod isn't a WordPress admin setting. It's a Linux file permission setting that you can usually change via your FTP client.
If a sub-directory 'vanished' after you changed it's chmod/permissions, you may need to check the configuration within your FTP client to make it 'visible' again. It is still there.
