[RC1] Safe Mode?
 

Seems like I can't upload images at all ...

That is, after removing the @ from mkdir() in upload.php.

Any ideas?
(Turning off Safe Mode unfortunately is not an option)

Would you mind submitting a support ticket so I can have a look myself and see if I can find a workaround?

I can ... but you won't give me support as the files are modified ;)

But I think this is a general problem.
If I am right, you are storing the files in gallery/files/u/s/e/r/i/d

Directory files is owned by me and chmodded ugo+rw, so all fine here.
Now, the first call of mkdir() creates directory 'u', which is then being owned by user apache.
So any further calls to create directories s,e,r,i,d will fail if safe mode is turned on.

That's fine. If it can't create the folders then it's obvious that's not a problem caused by your modifications. :)

php_admin_value safe_mode Off for just my account fixed the problem :)

As tehere are other users too I didn't want to globally turn off safe mode, but this way it's just fine.
