The question the script asked you was:
Is its parent directory writable by the server? – and its parent is wp-content…
If that’s writable WP will create the directory.
I am having this same problem (I just posted a little while ago on this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/56418)
My wp-content directory has the correct permissions set but WP still can’t write to it. The only way to get it to work is to upload wp-content/uploads/2006/01 etc as incredipete described, but this seems awfully cumbersome.

is it safe to make that folder writable?

i also tried manually generating the folders that the error referrs to, and even then WP still gives me errors

check this thread for the solution

you have to set all the file folders from wp-content on down to full write permissions. it is a total pain in the butt.
