    when a user try's to upload an image to their blog they get the following error

    Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for /home/blogga/wpmu/wp-content/blogs.dir/11 (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/blogga/wpmu/wp-includes/functions.php on line 884

    from what i can guess it may be a permissions setting, i welcome any suggestions how to test or put this right

    thanks

    Yep. It's a permissions problem.

    on some servers, they are set to automatically put stricter permissions on a folder as soon as it's created. PITA.
