I keep running into this problem. I am trying to use two different plugins, Next Gen Gallery and WP E-commerce. Both of these are having problems with directories not being writable. For the gallery, I managed to change the upload path, but the photos won't upload. It shows the progress bar, but then there's nothing in the upload directory. The e-commerce just gives me the error that certain directories are not writable....
Is there a setting somewhere in WPMU that I need to enable to allow plugins to upload files?

oh yeah, and I'm only using this for one main blog and as an admin...
Did you look at the upload directories and change the permissions?
(on the server, not thru MU)

to be honest I don't even know how to check/change the permissions on the server. I'm using a godaddy hosting account and I don't see a place to change directory permissions. But I changed the upload directory to the the wp-content/uploads/ and it still won't upload things through the plugins. The standard image upload from the visual post editor works just fine, but none of the plugins will work.

Apparently all my messing around has really screwed something up because now if I try to upload anything with the normal post editor it asks me to log in again, but never accepts whatever i type..
I guess I'll just reinstall everything all over again.......
In their file manager, where you can view the folder structure on the server, if you check the box next to the folder name, there should be an option in the menu somewhere.
(fuzzy memory :D, but something should be there)
And if you can go in via ftp, your ftp software should let you do the same.

well I found a way to edit the properties in the file manager, but I discovered that wasn't the problem. For the e-commerce, the problem was that it didn't create the directories so it couldn't write to them...
The Next-gen photo gallery still won't upload images though. I don't get an error or anything, it shows the progress up to 100% then tells me the directory is empty. I don't know what's going on with that. Haven't been able to find another photogallery plugin either.

i found that the next gen gallery issue is with the flash loader. disabling the flash loader makes it work.
